Piano Concerto no. 1, op. 35 / Chamber Symphony op. 110a

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Maxim Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Dmitri Maximovich Shostakovich & I Musici de Montréal & James Thompson & Yuli Turovsky

Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 35 / Chamber Symphony Op. 110a is an album of works by Dmitri Shostakovich, featuring compositions originally written in 1933 and 1960. The Piano Concerto pairs virtuosic, neoclassical piano writing with bold brass and string textures and incisive rhythmic drive, while the Chamber Symphony condenses dark, densely woven string material into a compact, elegiac chamber-orchestral piece that reflects the composer’s late-career introspection and characteristic use of stark, often dissonant motifs.
