Violin Concerto No. 1
Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & David Fiodorovich Oistrakh & New York Philharmonic & Dimitri Mitropoulos
Violin Concerto No. 1 is a violin concerto by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1947–1948 and first performed in 1955. The work juxtaposes lyrical solo writing with stark, often dissonant orchestral textures and driving rhythms, reflecting the tense, introspective character of Shostakovich's late 1940s output and its complicated reception under the late Stalinist regime.
