Cello Concertos

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Truls Mørk & Oslo‐Filharmonien & Vasily Petrenko

Cello Concertos is an album of Dmitri Shostakovich's two cello concertos, composed in 1959 and 1966. The works pair brooding, often stark orchestral textures with virtuosic and anguished solo-cello writing, reflecting Shostakovich's late-period focus on concentrated expression and his musical responses to the political and personal tensions of mid-20th-century Soviet life.
