Cello Concertos
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Dmitry Kouzov & Санкт-Петербургский государственный академический симфонический оркестр & Vladimir Lande
Cello Concertos refers to the two cello concertos by Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1959 and 1966. They blend sombre, often stark modernist textures with virtuosic and introspective solo-cello writing, featuring jagged motifs and dramatic orchestral interjections that reflect their place in Shostakovich's late-career output and the tensions of Soviet-era musical life.
First released: 4th June 2013
