Cello Sonatas

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Alfred Garyevich Schnittke & Alban Gerhardt & Steven Osborne

Cello Sonata in D minor, Op. 40 is a sonata for cello and piano by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1934. The work blends lyrical and intense passages with varied cello and piano textures rooted in 20th-century tonal language, and it occupies an early position in Shostakovich's oeuvre as a chamber piece that reflects his developing voice within the Soviet musical context.
