Info for Shostakovich: Piano Quintet Op. 57 | Piano Trios

New release on the 50th anniversary of Dmitri Shostakovich’s death: The Oliver Schnyder Trio, together with Julia Fischer and Nils Mönkemeyer, presents three of the most important chamber music works of the 20th century: the two piano trios and the famous Piano Quintet op. 57.

Between expression and adaptation, between personal grief and political coding – hardly any other composer transformed the tensions of his time into music as intensively as Shostakovich.
