Evgeny Kissin and Friends: The Shostakovich Sonatas by Shostakovich, From (2025/2025), Carnegie Hall, New York City, United States

Dmitri Shostakovich composed just a single, unforgettable sonata for each principal string instrument. In this concert, pianist extraordinaire Evgeny Kissin welcomes an all-star group of musicians to perform all three. From the earliest of the works (1934’s youthful Cello Sonata) to the final piece Shostakovich ever composed (the elegiac Viola Sonata of 1975), the program offers a revealing look at a small, but essential part of the composer’s enduring musical output, performed at the highest possible level.
