The most beautiful "Romance" written in the entire 20th century. Shostakovich is so under-rated.

I see there's quite a lot of people here who know this piece only as a theme from "Reilly Ace of Spies" TV series. Here's a bit of an interesting trivia for you, folks: this piece was originally written by Shostakovich for a Soviet film based on the book by British writer Ethel Voynich (nee Bool -her father was George Bool of the boolean algebra, for all of you programmers out there :)) called The Gadfly. Voynich knew Sidney Reilly personally and used some of his autobiographical facts and stories for her title character. Reilly knew that and didn't object. The book became extraordinarily popular in the Soviet Union. So when they made the film in 1953, Shostakovich wrote an entire orchestral suite that became the soundtrack and has since taken on the life of its own. Thirty years later they made the series about Reilly's life. The piece chosen as the theme? Romance from "The Gadfly".

I heard this on my card radio in 1993 while my-wife- to-be was in her car too also listening - so it’s become out ‘theme’. Notwithstanding that Dmitri Shostakovich was a very brave man as well as being one of the world’s greatest composers.

How about the resolution back into major and transition to the main theme? It’s just one subtle shift from F natural to F sharp, changing the whole mood. With organ (brass section?) accompanying it afterwards and the whole string section playing the theme? It is out of this world! If you read the book, you probably remember that Gemma already knows who Rivares is, but she just doesn’t take that final step to admit this to herself until it is too late, and the second rendition of the main theme after the middle part is a fantasy of what could have happened between them.

I heard a choral version of it at the Vaganova Ballet Academy exams and it was beautiful. Their rector chose the choral version from his record and said it's to make these boys' souls sing so they could feel the music when they dance. . And he certainly did when he danced himself. The whole exam musical program was Shostakovich, Gadfly, Bright Stream and Golden Age and it was beautiful. Now I am trying to find a choral version but have no luck but this one is beautiful and I am posting it on a Russian Music Group.
