Fire, technique and subtlety in Shostakovich’s most popular works

When he wrote his Fifth Symphony, it was sink or swim for Shostakovich. He had years of conflict with the Soviet state behind him and Stalin's patience was exhausted. Fortunately, the Fifth was greeted with unprecedented acclaim by both critics and audiences. Externally, Shostakovich is marching in step with the regime – quite literally so in the outer movements. But on a deeper level, he makes his intended point. Shostakovich's First Piano Concerto is equally popular. The exceptional role he created for the trumpet is completely unique, with regular surprising, unexpected, humorous and parodic elements. Despite its references to lounge music and jazz, this work still has a tragic, melancholic air. Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov is the perfect soloist to bring this concerto to life: his playing is renowned for its unusual combination of fire, technique and subtlety.
