Shostakovich: Cello Concertos Nos. 1 and 2

Product Description Alisa Weilerstein returns with Shostakovich's cello masterworks: Concertos 1 & 2. Weilerstein's interpretation is underpinned by her meeting Rostropovich -a close friend of the composer and the cellist for whom both works were written - when she was 22, playing Shostakovich for him and absorbing his advice and wisdom. Alisa is joined by conductor Pablo Heras-Casado and the Symphonieorchester Bayerischen Rundfunks. Review Weilerstein's technique was so rock-solid and her tone so magisterial --The Daily Telegraph
