Autor: Ernesto Nazareth
São 215 composições que contam a história da transformação da música no Brasil desde o Império, com diversas polcas, valsas e quadrilhas, até o início da República, quando Ernesto Nazareth passou a trabalhar outros gêneros, como o tango brasileiro, vindo a consolidar as bases para a evolução do choro. Nazareth também acabaria por sistematizar a linguagem pianística brasileira, misturando de maneira única o pianismo romântico de Chopin e Liszt com os sons que vinham dos conjuntos de choro e dos batuques. Mais de 160 de suas obras foram editadas na década de 1920, e dezenas foram gravadas ainda durante a fase mecânica de discos 78-RPM. No entanto, seu grande legado ainda estava para ser assimilado. Agora, um novo capítulo marca a história de Nazareth, com a primeira gravação integral de sua obra pela pianista Maria Teresa Madeira. Esta é a primeira vez que a obra de um compositor brasileiro é gravada em sua totalidade, e nada mais justo que o escolhido seja Nazareth, que tem sido referência para diversas gerações de compositores e intérpretes brasileiros.

Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his Symphony No. 2 in B major, Op. 14 and subtitled To October, for the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was first performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy Capella Choir under Nikolai Malko, on 5 November 1927. After the premiere, Shostakovich made some revisions to the score, and this final version was first played in Moscow later in 1927 under the baton of Konstantin Saradzhev. It was also the first time any version of the work had been played in Moscow.
