Description:

[Encore Press: Mercury Living Presents 50] Considered by many to be the most successful symphony written since World War I, the Fifth is the work that catapulted Shostakovich to the status of national artist. The suite "Gaïne" from the ballet music, including the famous "Sword Dance" that has become synonymous with Khachaturian, depicts the life of the Armenian peasantry with its vital rhythms and folk melodies. This album couples two masterpieces by orchestras that emerged in Russia in the 20th century, conducted by Sukrovaczewski and Dorati. Rubidium clock cutting. [Performed by] London Symphony Orchestra (1), Antal Dorati (1), Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra (2), Stanislav Skrovachevsky (2)
