An unlikely combination

I've just been listening to an orchestral arrangement of "Tea for Two" by Shostakovich. Most odd! I'm now listening to a rather fetching polka of his.

I must hear this. How?

It's part of the ballet suite "The Age of Gold"

It's somewhere in the middle of this podcast

I've heard this live played by the Liverpool Phil. Shostakovich was very catholic in his tastes, trying his hand (spectacularly well, damn him), at pretty much any form of music that he came into contact with.
