Marking the 50th anniversary year of Shostakovich’s death, our new album Shostakovich Discoveries features world premiere recordings and rarities from the iconic composer, performed by artists including Daniil Trifonov, Gidon Kremer and Nils Mönkemeyer.

Most of the pieces were recorded at the International Shostakovich Festival in Gohrisch (Saxony), the world’s only annual Shostakovich festival. Shostakovich Discoveries features almost 80 minutes of largely unknown music by the composer and is released digitally and on CD – a must for every Shostakovich fan.
