This item not eligible for any further discount offers!

Winner of a 2021 Gramophone Award and described by that magazine as "the kind of playing that looks you unblinkingly in the eye and tells it like it is": it could be none other than Alina Ibragimova playing Shostakovich Violin Concertos. She is joined by conductor Vladimir Jurowski and the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia 'Evgeny Svetlanov'. Shostakovich aficionados will welcome an opportunity to hear the rarely performed original opening to the Burlesque of Concerto No 1.

2-LP set is pressed on 180g vinyl.

A disc that grabs you by the ears and rivets you to your chair and has you breathless with exhilaration. There's a rawness to Ibragimova's sound that cuts to the heart of the music, and the orchestral playing is equally dramatic ... it does exactly what Shostakovich at his most devastating should do to you.
