Alina Ibragimova; Vladimir Jurowski - Shostakovich: Violin Concertos 1 & 2

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.
