The genius Khachaturian takes on Shostakovich\nSergei Khachaturian, the young violinist who won the 2005 Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition. His long-awaited second CD features two Shostakovich concertos. The expansive Concerto No. 1 was composed during Stalin’s reign of terror—specifically, during the period of the infamous Zhdanov Criticism. Although it is considered one of Shostakovich’s masterpieces, its complex, neurotic music makes it a challenging piece that defies easy interpretation. Yet Khachaturian, at the tender age of 21, brings it to life with astonishing intensity and profound musicality. It is a performance of rare excellence that even seasoned musicians would find difficult to achieve. His smooth, beautiful tone, reminiscent of Oistrakh, is also captivating. Symphony No. 2, which often feels overshadowed by No. 1, also receives attention in this long-awaited performance. With Sergei Khachaturian’s popularity rapidly rising in Japan as well, he’s someone you won’t want to take your eyes off of.
