{"product_id":"shostakovich-cantatas","title":"Shostakovich: Cantatas - Jarvi, Estonian National Symphony Orchestra","description":"Following international acclaim, including Estonia's first Grammy Award for their Grieg, Sibelius, Tüür and Pärt recordings on Erato, the Estonian-born conductor Paavo Järvi and the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra turn to rarely-performed choral works by Dmitri Shostakovich: Song of the Forests Op. 81, The Sun Shines on our Motherland Op. 90, and The Execution of Stepan Razin Op. 119. The new release confirms Järvi's reputation as a conductor with a deep understanding for the music of Shostakovich, as well as a particular affinity for choral music, which has a strong tradition in his homeland. These cantatas have a particular significance in Estonia - a former Soviet Socialist Republic under Stalinist rule - where, according to Järvi, the orchestra's performance of the works was \"scandalous.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 The Execution of Stepan Razin, Op. 119 (Live)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 The Sun Shines Over Our Motherland, Op. 90 (Live)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 The Song of the Forests, Op. 81: I. the War Ended in Victory (Bass, Chorus) - Live\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 The Song of the Forests, Op. 81: II.
