I have not heard that CD.
For a few more dollars you can get a three disc set that includes the
ballet suites and film music conducted by Kuchar on Brilliant.
Excellent interpretations and performances, though he may be a bit too
hard-driven at times for some people.

Then there's Chailly/Concertgebouw on London/Decca 433 702-2, but that may
be out-of-print so you'd have to haunt eBay for it. I suppose that if
anyone at Universal Music is paying attention to the Shostakovich Centenary
we might see reissues of all kinds of interesting stuff that they have on
their labels -- waitaminnit, what am I SAYING?

That's the recording I have and recommend. I've seen it in a
brick-and-mortar store within the last month or so.

Very nice - just done a transfer of this for a private client putting
together a Decca compilation...

That's the usual trouble with Shostakovich. Many feel they have to go
one better! If people stayed more often with his dynamic markings
there might be less of an association with bombast or even hard driven.
Maybe difficult in Symphony 12 but Mr Slovak comes close to getting
away with it in his Naxos recording but that's because, as always, he
sticks to the dynamics the composer actually wrote.
Rozhdestvensky recorded all three Jazz Suites for Melodiya but whether
they are available now I do not know. I thought those were good
performances and the MD knows how to do that sort of stuff.
I have heard the recording by Mr Kuchar and I thought most of them were
pretty good but missing some of the subtlety of Rozhdestvensky. I have
not heard the other recordings mentioned. Fun pieces to play.
Kind regards,
