Cello Concertos nos. 1, 2
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Maxim Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Heinrich Schiff
Cello Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 are concertos by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1959 and 1966 respectively. They exemplify his late style, pairing terse, often stark orchestral textures with virtuosic and sometimes angular solo writing, reflecting his late-period introspection and expanding the 20th-century cello repertoire.
