Imagine a Weimar-era klezmer band that has decidedly, totally out of the blue, to play cabaret punk... on Halloween. Oh yeah, that's the general sound of World Inferno Friendship Society's latest -- gloriously crazy, catchy and based on the movies of the master of creepiness, Peter Lorre. "Addicted to Bad Ideas" starts off a little limply, but quickly gets into its bouncy cabaret-punk groove. It starts off with the "Peter Lorre Overture," a stately smooth waltz of plucking strings, twittering clarinet, and rumbling cello. It's a nice little song, but somehow it just isn't a very enticing introduction. That is left to the second song, a dramatic sweep of piano and jagged riffs, with Jack Terricloth singing ...

You don't go to Haitink for extremes or quirkiness, so it may seem odd to recommend his recording of a work which some other conductors play as if it was the epitome of irony and quirkiness. But, just as his Mahler 6th of the early sixties offered a truly symphonic and comprehensible picture of that dark and tragic work, so this Shostakovich 15th brings us profundity mixed with tenderness viewed through sanity. And its that very sanity, which some critics (e.g. the authors of the Good CD Guide) deride, which makes the ethereal ending of the 15th so moving and yet so understandable, so human and universal in a way which more obviously edgy performances can't do.
