Friedrich Gulda:

Dmitri Shostakovich:

Suite Nr.1 für Jazzorchester, Op.38 - Walzer, Polka, Foxtrott
Ballettsuite Nr.2, Op 36 - Sentimental Romance
The Gadfly“, Op. 97a - Contredance, Galopp, Romance, Folk Feast
Ballettsuite Nr.3, Op. 37 - Elegie

Both Shostakovich and Gulda were masters at blending the levels of art and light music in a profitable way. One discreetly and he almost refines through the back door, the other in the form of a provocative cultural shock in his role as a musical bourgeois terror. On his recording for Ars Produktion, Friedrich Kleinhapl unites works of the two 'opposing' geniuses.
