Evgeny Kissin by Johann Sebastian Hänel / DG
One of today’s most insightful artists—pianist Evgeny Kissin—leads an all-star lineup in his third and final Shostakovich program of the month. World-class soloists featured in this performance include violinist Gidon Kremer, cellist Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė, and singers Susanna Phillips, Sasha Cooke, Brandon Jovanovich, and Alexander Roslavets. The performance also marks the Carnegie Hall debut of the illustrious Kopelman Quartet, whose members worked directly with Shostakovich on his late quartets as founding players in the Moscow String Quartet.
