A couple of years ago at the CPO, they had a Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky night.
Jazz Suite 1 and 2 by Shostakovich were performed. Now they are not in the jazz style of Gershwin, are just light dance suites played on the piano, so foxtrots, polkas, marches, waltzes of Shostakovich's time. I quite enjoyed them and ordered in this CD.
