The short “The Gamblers” which was left unfinished in a piano score, is performed here in a version completed by the conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky.
“The Nose” was first performed in 1930 and once again the composer was lambasted for being pretentious and artificial. In recent years “The Nose” has enjoyed a reassessment in revivals in opera houses around the world.
