Description

Such Sweet Thunder is one of the many masterpieces composed by Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn. Recorded between August 1956 and May 1957, it was commissioned for the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario. The work's title was taken from lines in A Midsummer Night's Dream: "I never heard so musical a discord, such sweet thunder". The mention of discords is apt, since some parts of the suite show that the composers were extremely adventurous in the sounds they created, including the discords which so aptly convey the agony behind Madness in Great Ones.
