Two twentieth-century classics by Shostakovich, newly available on vinyl. No 1 has long been one of Marc-André Hamelin’s party pieces and for this special recording he is paired with Andrew Litton, a conductor who knows these works backwards (he has recorded the second concerto as pianist!): the resulting performances have a vitality and flair, which we think places them amongst the greatest. ‘Hamelin is a superb advocate … the zip and zest of much of the writing presenting no difficulty to this extraordinary virtuoso’ (Gramophone) ‘Shostakovich’s two piano concertos usually come across as sparkling, riotous, satirical works which they are. But what makes this album special is the way that Hamelin, Litton and the trumpeter Mark O’Keeffe … uncover so much more. In the hyperactive finales, Hamelin rolls up his sleeves and sets to with absolute glee yet it is the slow movements that carry the real key. The slowerthan- usual tempos and the tenderness of Hamelin’s phrasing reveal the core of vulnerability, betraying the fragility of all that glittering thin ice on either side. Moreover, the tipsy-sounding trumpet solo in No 1’s last movement and the pacing as the tension ratchets up in the finales are brilliantly handled’ (Classic FM) ‘If you want non-pareil sound and a stunning performance then this is now the place to go’ (MusicWeb International) ‘It’s on the basis of interpretation that Hamelin earns a top recommendation here, and he’s sympathetically supported by Litton and the excellent Scottish ensemble … those looking for their first recordings of the Shostakovich concertos won’t go wrong with Hamelin’ (Fanfare, USA)
