Cello Concertos 1 & 2
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Alisa Weilerstein & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Pablo Heras‐Casado
Cello Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 are concertos by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1959 and 1966. They occupy a central place in his mid- to late-career output, blending stark, often brooding melodies, jagged rhythms and terse orchestral textures within a 20th-century modernist idiom that emphasises concentrated emotional expression and dramatic contrast.
