Waltz No. 2 from Jazz-Suite No. 2 – Clarinet Quartet

Description

Familiar to many as the soundtrack to the film Eyes Wide Shut, Dmitri Shostakovich’s Waltz No. 2 from the Suite for Variety Orchestra – which is better known as Jazz Suite No. 2 – has mysterious, lascivious qualities that call to mind circus or variety music. Stefan Potzmann has arranged this dramatic Russian performance piece for four clarinets, thus adding another wellknown classic to the instrumental literature now available.
