Post Subject: Shostakovich preludes - what a hell of crap!Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/20/2015

I think 20 years back I bought a good rendition of Shostakovich preludes by Tatiana Nikolayeva. I remember how it was and where I was. I was not a huge fun of the preludes but I was hypnotized by a stunning illustration on the CD box: the chasing scene from Pushkin’s Bronze Horseman by Alexander Benois...

Over a few years I was listening the preludes sometime and I generally liked some of them. A few days back I decided that Thomas has too much Bach and I decided to devitrify. I went to my shelf and pull this Shostakovich box. I was near vomiting when I was at second prelude and I physically was not able to listen this. What a monumental pile of crap those Shostakovich preludes are?!!!!!
