The Grammy Award-winning project also includes a collection of concertos with pianist Yuja Wang, violinist Baiba Sklide, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma, as well as the opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk County. This release is an album of the Cello Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 by Yo-Yo Ma. Taking advantage of the outstanding acoustics of Boston's Symphony Hall, the two concertos are performed with great virtuosity. The original No. 1, written for his friend Mstislav Rostropovich, is a notoriously difficult work that became a landmark in Yo-Yo Ma's early career. The much more introspective No. 2 was the composer's 60th birthday gift to himself. Yo-Yo Ma introduced No. 2 to the Symphony Hall audience as follows. The work is as relevant today as it was when it was composed.I believe that the truth of Shostakovich's artistry is to express the voice of the voiceless instead.\" *Digipak edition\n\nUniversal Music\/IMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dg Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51247439151393,"sku":"28948669493","price":3490.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/28948669493.jpg?v=1746339785","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/28948669493","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
