This is the perfect set for anyone who loves Shostakovich, or anyone just finding out about Shostakovich who wants to easily get all his major works. Included are the complete symphonies, including the chamber symphonies, a few discs of suites and film music, all six concertos, the complete string quartets, and three discs of assorted chamber music.

This is a Great Classical piece for the lovers of classical, as well as the ones who may hate it. These Adagios CDs get beter and better each time there is a new release. I must warn you there some good as well as some bad ones. There is a certain Adagio flavor for everyones.

Classical / Organ / 20th Century

Shostakovich wrote only one work for organ, the Passacaglia Op. 29b composed as an entr'acte between the two scenes of Act II of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk Op. 29. We hear it in performances and recordings scored for full orchestra because he realized that not many opera houses would have full-scale pipe organs. One wishes a recording would be made some day of Lady Macbeth with the organ rather than the full orchestra being used in its original context as it is absolutely shattering. Turn the volume up – and brace yourself for the explosion of sound!
