[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which Shostakovich?[/quote] I wasn't there but I'm assuming his Cello Concerto No. 1. The Shostakovich is incredibly difficult, so I wouldn't say Yo-Yo Ma's talent was "wasted" on it (now, if it had been Lalo...) but if you were looking for a lyrical, virtuosic piece to swoon over, Shostakovich isn't everybody's jam. Probably Dvorak, Elgar, Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations, or Haydn D Major would have suited better. [/quote] Bingo, it was Cello Concerto No. 1. Can I ask, are you a musician? Or how do you know so much about Shostakovich?[/quote] NP. Played cello in my youth, and this piece is definitely one of the "usual suspects" that turns up for a showcase for a solo cellist. [/quote]
