Yuja Wang here gives characteristically dynamic and expressive performances of Shostakovich's contrasting 'Piano Concertos', written 24 years apart, with the BSO's principal trumpet Thomas Rolfs playing the obbligato trumpet part in the first. The new album also features 6 solo piano pieces from Shostakovich's '24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87 & Op. 34'.
