Composer:
Dmitri Shostakovich

Artist(s):
Marc-Andre Hamelin
Mark O'Keefe

Conductor:
Andrew Litton

Background: The two piano concertos of Shostakovich, though strikingly different from each other, have both become twentieth-century classics. The first has long been one of Marc-André Hamelin's party pieces and on this CD he is paired with Andrew Litton, a conductor who knows these works backwards.

The Shchedrin concerto, though less known, is no less enjoyable. There is brilliance in both the piano writing and the orchestration, and the surprise appearance in the finale of a jazz trio including vibraphone and drum kit is sure to bring the house down.
