'This CD centres on the lighter side of Shostakovich - or, more accurately, his lighter sides, since the styles range from the pointed neo-Classical wit of the Ninth Symphony to the Keystone Kops mayhem of the First Piano Concerto to the more genial light-music parody of the score to the cinematic comedy The Adventures of Korzinkina.'
International Record Review

'But the Two Choruses, Op. 124, Shostakovich's contribution to a collaborative cantata celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Revolution, are portents of greater choral outpourings to come in the 13th Symphony and the Execution of Stepan Razin. And the brief, 9-minute suite of music from the 1940 film The Adventures of Korzinkina, the composer's Op. 59, leaves one wanting more. Perhaps when he's done with the symphonies, Polyansky can bring us more of that under-explored corner of Shostakovich's output.'
