More and more people around the world are being captivated by Shostakovich's music, and are being moved to the deepest depths of their souls. Shostakovich's music is unique. It is both a testimony to a painful time brought on by politics and a timeless expression of a fundamental sense and experience of human existence. Especially for me.\" said conductor Mariss Jansons. This album features live recordings of two Shostakovich works from concerts held in 2011 and 2012. Shostakovich's \"Piano Concerto No. 1,\" officially called the \"Concerto for Piano, Trumpet, and String Ensemble,\" is a work that requires the trumpet to have the same technique as a soloist. Shostakovich wrote this work in the summer of 1933, only a few weeks after the completion of his opera \"Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk,\" and it is a gem that fully reveals the immense and outstanding talent of the young 26-year-old composer. The piano is played by Yefim Bronfman, known for his outstanding technique, and the trumpet by Hannes Leubin, a veteran soloist and principal with the NDR Elbphilharmonie (formerly known as the NDR Hamburg North German Radio Symphony Orchestra). Jansons' agile conducting holds the whole piece together, including various satires and allusions.Symphony No. 9, the last of the \"War Trilogy,\" was premiered on November 3, 1945, by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Evgeny Mravinsky. Hailed as a triumphal symphony, it was in fact full of satire and irony, and this light-hearted work did not meet the intentions of government officials who wanted a work in the vein of Beethoven's Ninth. Jansons has stylishly crafted this work full of wit and irony.
