Shostakovich: Violin Concerto No. 1 - Glazunov: Violin Concerto

Shostakovich’s symphonically conceived Violin Concerto No.1, premiered by David Oistrakh in 1955, is brooding, sardonic and challenging; Perlman’s live recording ends in an ovation from the audience, while Gramophone described his interpretation of Glazunov’s richly lyrical concerto as “irresistible”.
