Well; looks like we have a resident reviewer. The background history is informative w/o sentimentality; the description of the piece creates a good mental picture of what to expect. You focused on the music and the composer and avoided injecting your own personal story into the review; and you clearly stated why you favor this example of Shostakovich and you noted a choice of good performances. 24 Preludes and Fugues, Keith Jarrett. Excellent; Never heard it so I will try it.
This is good; I just started trying to access some classical and began with Bach, The Inventions and Brandenburgh but without some guidance it's difficult.
Thanks, J.R.
