Piano Concertos
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Anna Vinnitskaya & Kremerata Baltica
Piano Concertos is a collection of two piano concertos by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1933 and 1957. The works blend classical concerto form with sharp, often sardonic harmonies, jazz-inflected rhythms and striking contrasts between virtuosic piano writing and orchestral textures, reflecting Shostakovich's evolution from his early, more acerbic style to a later, more lyrical and introspective voice in Soviet-era music.
