Cello Concertos no. 1 & 2

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Daniel Müller‐Schott & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Yakov Kreizberg

Cello Concertos No. 1 and No. 2 are concertos by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1959 and 1966 respectively. Musically they exemplify mid-20th-century Soviet orchestral style with demanding, often intense solo cello writing set against stark orchestral textures and sharp contrasts, and they form key works of Shostakovich's later output and the modern cello repertoire.
First released: 10th May 2008
