Alina Ibragimova; Vladimir Jurowski – State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia Evgeny Svetlanov : Shostakovich – Violin Concertos

The prospect of hearing Alina Ibragimova in two of the most important concertos written for the violin is in itself irresistibly enticing, but Shostakovich aficionados will also welcome an opportunity to hear the rarely performed original opening to the ‘Burlesque’ of ‘No. 1’, subsequently made less fearsome for the soloist at the request of the work’s dedicatee, David Oistrakh. These 180g LPs are part of Hyperion’s 2026 vinyl edition.
