Shostakovich - Violin Concerto No. 1, Op. 77
Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducts the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 in A-minor, Op. 77. Soloist is Japanese violinist Fumiaki Miura. The work was already composed in 1947-48, but until its premiere in 1955, Shostakovich worked on multiple revisions together with its dedicatee David Oistrakh. The Scherzo is notable for the appearance of the DSCH motif, representing the composer's name and recurring in many of his works. This performance of the Violin Concerto was recorded at the Gothenburg Concert Hall (Konserthuset) in Sweden, 2020.
