Kammerkonzert 5
Before Dmitri Shostakovich became a composing critic of the Stalin dictatorship, the music world experienced him as a carefree, talented prodigy. His first piano trio, written at seventeen, is a testament to this. Also worth discovering is the piano quintet by the Polish romanticist Juliusz Zarębski, dedicated to his teacher Franz Liszt.
