The Macallan Bravo Series: Sunny Beethoven - Epic Shostakovich

There are few opportunities to experience Beethoven’s Triple Concerto because it requires three superb soloists; but the Storioni Trio fits the bill with an interpretation hailed by Gramophone as “intelligently balanced, beautifully played.” Maestro van Zweden also leads one of Shostakovich’s most tumultuous works, composed in the midst of World War II. Reflecting the suffering of the Russian people, the composer holds out hope that “all that is dark and oppressive will disappear; all that is beautiful will triumph.”
