YO-YO MA | BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA | ANDRIS NELSONS Shostakovich: The Cello Concertos (2025 Deutsche Grammophon UK/EU limited edition 7-track double album 2-LP featuring world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma performing Cello Concerto No. 1 in E-Flat Major (op.107) and Cello Concerto No. 2 in G Major (op.126). Andris Nelsons and the BSO conclude their award-winning decade-long Shostakovich project by presenting their acclaimed Shostakovich symphony cycle. Benefiting from the superb audio quality achieved in the exceptional acoustic of Boston's symphony hall, Yo-Yo Ma gives inspired performances of the two cello concertos. The inventive first was written for another friend, Mstislav Rostropovich, a famously demanding piece that was an early landmark in Ma's own career. The far more introspective second was the composer's 60th-birthday present to himself. Gatefold picture sleeve, factory sealed)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
In October 2023, world-renowned cellist and cultural ambassador Yo-Yo Ma returned to Boston's Symphony Hall to play Shostakovich's two cello concertos with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and its Music Director, Andris Nelsons. Recorded by a team headed by legendary Hollywood producer Shawn Murphy and BSO lead recording engineer Nick Squire, their performances of these two very different works are now set to be released by Deutsche Grammophon to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the composer's death in 1975.
Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 in E flat major dates from 1959. Cast in four movements it was dedicated to and premiered by the composer's old friend Mstislav Rostropovich. Yo-Yo Ma has played the work many times, and here brings out the contrasting moods of its writing, from dark irony to poignant lyricism, with his signature virtuosic brilliance. In many places he creates an eloquent dialogue with BSO principal horn Richard Sebring.
The Second begins in melancholy vein, with a sighing phrase for the solo cello. After the extended Largo, the second and third movements are played without a break. Shostakovich mimics a street song from Odessa in the central Allegretto. That tune is dramatically restated in the finale, which begins with a horn fanfare and eventually ends with wood block, tom-tom, snare drum and xylophone (part of the orchestra's huge percussion section) punctuating a long-held drone note from the cellist.
