Steven Isserlis; Paavo Jarvi: Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra - Prokofiev & Shostakovich: Cello Concertos

A thrilling album from Steven Isserlis couples the ground-breaking Prokofiev Cello Concerto from the 1930s with Shostakovich�s eruptive response to it written for Rostropovich in 1959. These seminal works mark the cello�s coming of age, enveloping its trademark rhapsodic lyricism in a newly visceral passion.Paavo Jarvi makes his Hyperion debut, conducting an ebullient Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and providing the ideal foil to Isserlis�s impassioned virtuosity.
