The Wicked North | Dmitri Shostakovich - Romance - The Gadfly Suite @TheWickedNorth | Uploaded 15 years ago | Updated 6 hours ago
The Gadfly Suite, Op. 97a, is a suite for orchestra arranged by Levon Atovmyan from Dmitri Shostakovich's score for the 1955 Soviet film The Gadfly, based on the novel of the same name by Ethel Lilian Voynich. Atovmyan's suite differs markedly from the original: the orchestration is more colorful and economic, certain sections have been transposed harmonically, and he inserted newly composed connecting passages.
