Violin Concertos 1 & 2

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Christian Tetzlaff & Helsingin kaupunginorkesteri & John Storgårds

Violin Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 are two concertos by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1947–48 and 1967 respectively. The works contrast the first concerto's anguished, expansive lyricism and inventive orchestration with the second concerto's more concise, introspective tone, together tracing changes in Shostakovich's expressive language and reflecting his place in mid-20th-century Soviet music.
