Hypothetically Murdered, Four Pushkin Romances, Five Fragments For Small Orchestra, Jazz Suite No. 1
This 1993 Cala recording features tenor Dimitri Kharitonov bringing vulnerability to Shostakovich's song cycles and romances. Mark Elder conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony with sensitivity, revealing the composer's lyrical, introspective side. These works show a different Shostakovich—more intimate than the towering symphonies, deeply emotional, and surprisingly accessible. The Jazz Suite No. 1 adds welcome brightness and wit.
