Yakov KreizbergAbout
With the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Yakov Kreizberg, Daniel Müller-Schott offers an exemplary interpretation of both concertos that also does justice to the peculiarities and details of their instrumentation, notably in the second movement of the Second Concerto, in which Shostakovich uses a popular song from the time of the Russian Revolution to produce a grotesque dance with dissonant fanfares.
No less typical of Shostakovich are the reminiscences of composers such as Mussorgsky in the set of variations in the final movement of the Op. 126 Concerto, written at a time when the composer was already marked out by death. It is a piece described by Daniel Müller-Schott as "perhaps the most emotionally multilayered of all cello concertos", the abrupt ending of which is as disturbing as it is profoundly moving.
