Jansons/Bronfman/Laubin/Brso - Dmitri Shostakovich: Concerto for Piano, Trumpet and String Orchestra No. 1, Op. 35 in C minor; Symphony No. 9, Op. 70 i

Increasingly, Shostakovich's music is captivating people all over the world and appealing to their deepest emotions. Almost like no other, it bears witness to a traumatic political epoch while remaining a timeless expression of existential human feeling and experience. For me personally, said conductor Mariss Jansons, who died two years ago, Shostakovich is one of the most serious and sincere composers of them all. Now BR-KLASSIK is releasing the two outstanding performances by this important Soviet-Russian composer now on LP: his impressive Concerto for Piano, Trumpet and String Orchestra, and his Ninth Symphony - performed live by the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under its long-time principal conductor Mariss Jansons.
