The Shostakovich Piano Concertos: Images pour orchestre, L. 122 Debussy (+2 More)

“Whatever he plays, whatever he does, Federico Colli compels attention” wrote one critic about the pianist. “His beautifully light touch and lyrical grace make the music shine” said another. But you don’t have to take their word for it, because today Colli takes centre stage with one of the world’s most respected conductors to play both of Shostakovich’s Piano Concertos in one sparkling concert. The First finds Colli playing energetic musical games with a rising star, trumpeter Matilda Lloyd. The second – written for Shostakovich’s teenage son – is music of irresistible melody and exuberant wit. With Mark Elder conducting it’ll sound fresh as new, and the gorgeous musical colours of Debussy’s Images create a magical setting.
