Sheku Kanneh-Mason records Shostakovich's '2nd Cello Concerto', during a critically-acclaimed tour with John Wilson and the Sinfonia of London. The work features alongside the Shostakovich 'Cello Sonata' and Britten 'Cello Sonata', recorded with his sister and frequent duo partner, Isata Kanneh-Mason. An homage to Rostropovich: Shostakovich wrote the concerto for renowned cellist, Rostropovich, with whom he also shared a mutual friendship with Britten. The sonatas on this album were recorded in Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, the same place that Rostropovich and Britten recorded the Britten 'Cello Sonata' for Decca in 1968.
