Shostakovich Marche Sarcastique from Hamlet

[Nab29th]

Hello everyone.  I'm looking for a recording of this march.  Conducting a band transcription of it in January and have had absolutely no luck finding a recording and/or much information.

It must be on this disk, which is the complete film score. It is apparently incorporated into another section and not standing alone by name.

Shostakovich's Hamlet


Thanks for bringing this up, I'm going to get it myself.

Note the links to MP3's, maybe you can get 1 of those for a dollar that you think is the right one.

Found the piece under a different title:  Hamlet (Suite) Op. 32a: XIII. Fortinbras's March (Allegretto).  The band arrangement I have was written by Robert Cray (not the blues guy :-).  No idea why it was published in 1945 under another title, but this arrangement popped up on Amazon (no kiddin'), [Import][Unknown Binding], currently unavailable.
