Piano concertos nos. 1 & 2 : Piano quintet
Shostakovich, Dmitriĭ Dmitrievich, 1906-19751999
Music
In the Piano Concerto No 1 (1933), a profusion of melody reveals the composer's latent romanticism before the sparky finale, in which the trumpet competes wittily for solo space. The lightly-scored No 2 (1957) and the Bach-inspired, wartime Piano Quintet in G Minor complete a disc of exuberance and, as ever with this composer, melancholy.
