	Violin Concerto No. 1 (Shostakovich) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Opus 77, was originally written by Dmitri Shostakovich in 1947 - 1948.
		He was still working on the piece at the time of the Zhdanov decree, and in the period following the composer's denunciation the work could not be performed.
		It was well received, Oistrakh remarking on the "depth of its artistic content" and describing the violin part as a "pithy 'Shakespearian' role".

		Shostakovich was born on September 25, 1906, in St. Petersburg, and died on August 9, 1975, in Moscow.
		Shostakovichâs Violin Concerto No. 1 received its US premiere at Carnegie Hall on December 29, 1955, with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Dimitri Mitropoulos; David Oistrakh was the soloist.
		Shostakovichâs theme, which we hear at the outset in cellos and basses accented by timpani, is 17 measures long and broken into choppy two-measure phrases.

	INKPOT#93 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: PROKOFIEV/SHOSTAKOVICH Violin Concertos No.1. Vengerov/LSO/Rostropovich (Teldec)
		These two 20th century violin concertos are not as popular with the general public as compared to the standard pieces in the genre.
		Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto is very different from Prokofiev's counterpart.
		I highly recommend this recording to every serious fan of violin music, not because of the famous personalities involved, but because it is seldom that all the various elements combine so well to make the culture of a piece of music so successfully grasped and proclaimed.

		Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, op.
		I also found his tone in the passacaglia to be rather adenoidal, resulting in the concerto's emotional core being not nearly as imploring as it might be.
		Indeed, the concerto suffers throughout from a missing sense of direction, not remotely matching the symphonic development on Neeme Järvi's recording with Lydia Mordkovitch and The Scottish National Orchestra (with Violin Concerto No. 2; Chandos CHAN 8820).

		Shostakovich Piano Concertos Nos 1 and 2; Shchedrin Piano Concerto No 2: Hamelin/BBC Scottish Symphony/Litton
		It's odd that the two concertos Shostakovich composed for his own instrument lack the scope of those he produced for violin and for cello.
		The few moments when they touch on deeper emotions - in the slow movement of No 2 particularly - are outweighed by the brittle tone of the rest, with its jaunty and sometimes sardonic piano writing.

	Shostakovich's violin concert No.1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I think Shostakovich was a very uneven composer, he wrote some beautiful orchestral works that I like and some others that really aren't at the same level IMO such as some of the quartets and the violin concerto.
		Shostakovich was never so damatic, but he made news during the darkest days of the second world war with his Seventh Symphony, the first three movements of which were composed in Leningrad while the city was under attack by the Nazis.
		Shostakovich violin concerto no1 is the king of all violin concerti for me.Of course some of you have the right to believe the opposite.

	INKPOT#63 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: SHOSTAKOVICH Violin Concerto No.1 - An Ink-troduction
		Shostakovich presents us with a supremely beautiful movement, beginning "Moderato" (like the Tenth Symphony) and, again, sustaining a quiet mood of meditation and memory for quite a long time.
		The violin is given some pedal points and octaves, both excruciatingly challenging, in a dance-like atmosphere in 3/8 time, providing a sharp contrast to the solitude of the first movement.
		Overall, the the Violin Concerto No.1 and Symphony No.10 show a great kinship, though vastly different are their magnitudes and directions.

		Violin Concerto No. 1 In D Major, Op.
		The Shostakovich on the other hand fails in the (probably impossible) task of yoking the white-hot inspiration of the Passacaglia (the passage in the film that so moved me) to the structural requirements of a coherent large-scale work.
		Maybe Mahler, that master of idiosyncratic extended architectonic forms, could have done it; in any case, part of Mahler's genius was his intuitive avoidance of material unsuited to his grand overall conception, and it is likely that such a searingly intense but untameable inspiration would not have "occurred" to him, because he couldn't use it.

		I listened to the first movement of the Shostakovich, and found myself, as I have very rarely, feeling disgust for the sound of the solo violin.
		Suddenly the sound of Hanhn's playing, which at first was merely thin, as it would be for the rest of the piece, became something that made me push the stop button at once, for it was, I have to say, intolerable.
		To me, the first movement of the Mendelssohn violin concerto is one of the most perfectly structured pieces of music that has ever been written: then couple that with the haunting "Russian" theme and you have music that is both emotionally moving and gratifying.

	DSCH 18 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Ilya Gringolts, Violin Concerto No. 1
		What these slower renditions lose is a certain poignancy that Mehta and Perlman revealed in Shostakovich's gentle arabesques (such as at figure 13) and a degree of agitation and, dare I say it, nervousness that Oistrakh communicated (the chain-smoking insomniac perhaps?).
		The next rotation of the passacaglia theme (where the cor anglais and bassoon take up the violin's lament while the soloist soars above) is beautifully balanced, from which point the movement builds to a riveting climax.
		The Tchaikovsky Concerto is a quality performance though I find the transition from its sound world to Shostakovich's something of a wrench.

		If Shchedrin's tangos were tinged with melancholy, Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto is positively suicidal: the work makes no attempt at false jubilation or jauntiness.
		The composer was at work on the Concerto in February 1948 when the famous Central Committee 'anti-distortion' resolution was passed.
		The resolution was to cost him his teaching posts at the Moscow and Leningrad Conservatories, but it seems to have had no effect on his Violin Concerto, which he withheld until the political thaw in 1953.

		Hahns mercurial swiftness becomes pure delight in the very fast finale, and her feminine sparkle (I mean that as a high compliment) results in a captivating performance that holds ones interest from first to last.
		The violin was born of neccessity, as music left the ornate halls of European chateaus for more open, public places, where a more powerful sound was required to have the same effect on the more numerous listeners in the audience.
		Hahn is rapidly mowing down staples of the violin repertoire and proving she is one of the best violinists around.

		Shostakovich has two personalities: the somber, angst-filled one as in the two violin concerti, and the class cut-up as in these two piano concertos.
		Hamelin is perfect for these concerti because, even though they are not the super-virtuosic type he often records, they require a certain devil-may-care quality which he possesses in abundance (just listen to his recordings of the over-the-top Alkan minor key études or the Godowsky recastings of the Chopin Études).
		There's no other recording I'd rather hear of the Shchedrin (with its amazing last movement), and I would easily list this recording as my favorite of the Shostakovich concerti, along with those of the composer himself...

		Though it was completed in 1948, the emotional strength and complexity of Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto meant that the composer felt unable to unveil it until 1955, when the cultural oppressions of the Stalin regime had passed.
		Composed in 1953, his Tenth Symphony is a work of typical contradiction (it has been called an ‘optimistic tragedy’), but its sweep and power are as undeniable as its ultimate message of hope.
