Symphony No. 15, Op. 141 / Cello Concerto, Op. 107
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Medea Meyzanyan & Sergey Skripka & The Moscow Symphony Orchestra
Symphony No. 15, Op. 141 / Cello Concerto, Op. 107 is a classical album of works by Dmitri Shostakovich drawing on compositions from 1959 and 1971. It pairs a virtuosic cello concerto featuring prominent solo writing and sharp orchestral dialogue with a later symphony that functions as a reflective, eclectic finale to his symphonic output, characterised by concise motifs, ironic quotations and chamber-like textures.
