The fake Rachmaninov piano concerto from The Unforgettable Year 1919 also is better played, and better recorded, in this performance than anywhere else (though Naxos offers the complete film score, of which this extract gives only a very limited and atypical impression). It only remains to be said that both Hamlet and Five Days, Five Nights constitute two of Shostakovich's best works for the silver screen, and both are important because they also incorporate material that can be heard in the Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth symphonies. So if you like those works, and even if you don't especially care about the film music, you should at least have these two pieces in your collection. Very enjoyable.
