Shostakovich's Cello Concerto no 1

Truls Mørk performs Shostakovich's first cello concerto with the German Symphony Orchestra, Berlin. Plus music by Anna Thorvaldsdóttir James Kimo Williams and Grieg.

Truls Mørk performs Shostakovich's first cello concerto with the German Symphony Orchestra, Berlin and conductor Tabita Berglund. In Metacosmos, Anna Thorvaldsdóttir captures the dynamic of plunging into a black hole. James Kimo Williams’s Fanfare for Life is an emotional reflection on his experiences in the Vietnam War, followed by the poetic adventure of Grieg’s Peer Gynt suites. John Shea presents.
