Cello Concerto no. 2 / Sonata for Cello and Piano

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Sol Gabetta & Münchner Philharmoniker & Marc Albrecht & Mihaela Ursuleasa

Cello Concerto No. 2 / Sonata for Cello and Piano is a set of classical compositions by Dmitry Shostakovich, composed in 1966 and 1964 respectively. Both pieces reflect Shostakovich's late-period language, characterised by stark, brooding melodic writing, incisive rhythms and a tightened, often terse harmonic palette that expands the cello's expressive and virtuosic possibilities and situates them in his oeuvre as examples of a turn towards concision and distilled emotional intensity.
