Andrew Litton (Dir) // The two piano concertos of Shostakovich have both become twentieth-century classics. The first has long been one of Marc-André Hamelin's party pieces and we are delighted to have paired him with Andrew Litton, a conductor who knows these works backwards (he has recorded the second concerto as pianist!), to give the resulting performances a vitality and flair, which we think places them amongst the greatest. The Shchedrin concerto, though less known, is no less enjoyable.
