DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975): Alone.

Description: Reconstructed from the official Russian version of the 1931 film (with Irina Shostakovich's approval), this score includes an overture and prelude which were not used in the film, accounting for most of the eight minutes difference between this recording and the 1996 Russian Disc issue. Irina Matayeva (soprano), Anna Kiknadze (mezzo), Dmitri Voropayev (tenor), Vocal Ensemble of the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main, Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra; Mark Fitz-Gerald.
