Shostakovich: Concerto for Piano, Trumpet, and String Orchestra

"Shostakovich's music captivates and touches people all over the world more and more. Like almost no other, it is a testament to a difficult political era and at the same time a timeless expression of existential human feelings and experiences. For me personally," said the conductor Mariss Jansons, who passed away two years ago, "Shostakovich is one of the most serious and sincere composers of all." Now, BR-KLASSIK is releasing two outstanding interpretations on vinyl: the impressive Concerto for Piano, Trumpet, and String Orchestra as well as the Ninth Symphony of the significant Russian-Soviet composer – performed live by the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under its long-time chief conductor Mariss Jansons.
