Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

More akin to a symphony, Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto is a real tour de force of a piece, calling on everything in the violinist's technical arsenal as well as vast physical and emotional stamina. The wide emotional range of its four-movement structure encompasses brooding, elegiac melancholy with savage, mocking sarcasm before it gives itself up totally to a rhythmic energy and brilliance of colour.
