About "Jazz Suite No. 2: VI. Waltz 2" by Andris Nelsons
Shostakovich's Waltz 2, played with a velvet melancholy. Nelsons draws out the tune's nostalgic sway—a ballroom remembered through frosted glass, where the dancers are ghosts and the champagne is flat. It's a lullaby for a world that's already gone.
