This recording presents the full, original score for the first time, as closely as possible to Shostakovichs original conception. Reconstructed by Mark Fitz-Gerald from the original manuscript and the Russian film soundtrack, it calls for a large orchestra including church bells, an organ, two guitars and a mandolin, all excluded from the Atovmian suite. The excerpts from The Counterplan, which marked the fifteenth anniversary of the 1917 Revolution, include the infectious hit-tune The Song of the Counterplan. This is a world-premiere recording. REVIEW Most Shostakovich admirers will be familiar with the suite from his film score The Gadfly, and like most film music by the composer at least that which has been widely recorded it s music with an intriguing mix of styles but with an emphasis on lighter, more accessible compositional techniques. --CD Choice, January'18Artist: Deut Staatsphil/Fitz-GeraldCountry/Region of Manufacture: GermanyMPN: 8573747Release Year: 2017Tracks: 1: Overture2: The Cliffs3: The Austrians4: Youth5: Political Meeting6: Divine Service at the Cathedral7: Arrest8: A Slap in the Face9: Laughter10: The River11: March, 'The Church Supports the Austrians'12: Folk Dance13: Barrel Organ14: Divine Service15: Exit from the Cathedral16: Gemma's Room17: Guitars18: Contredanse19: Galop20: Fanfares21: Bazar22: Rout23: Prison24: Youth (Reprise)25: Montanelli Leaves the Prisoner's Cell26: Letter27: The River (Reprise)28: Finale29: Confession30: Dona Nobis Pacem31: Ave Maria32: I.
