Alisa Weilerstein and The Halle perform music by Shostakovich and Mahler
Shostakovich: Cello Concerto no.2
Mahler: Symphony no.5
Winner of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Music Magazine Recording of the Year 2014, Alisa Weilerstein performs Shostakovich's Cello Concerto no. 2 : A piece full of beautiful and engaging ideas, all of which are organised with quite remarkable invention.
Used to score Luchino Visconti's Death in Venice, Mahler's Symphony no. 5 was an extended love song to his new wife Alma, whose ultimate message is unmistakably hopeful and life-affirming.
