Dmitri Shostakovich
Violoncello Concerto No. 1 in E flat major op. 107

Like Dmitri Shostakovich, Anastasia Kobekina was born in Russia. Does that play a role when she plays his 1st Cello Concerto as a soloist? The work was created in 1959, shortly after Stalin's death. Anastasia Kobekina and host Thilo Braun explain how the regime of terror can be felt in music. They talk about the nervousness of the sounds that pervades the cello concerto like death panic, detect hidden messages and puzzle over why Shostakovich quotes Stalin's favorite song at the end.
