Powerful compositions

"It could only be Shostakovich!" commented the BBC presenter when Sheku Kanneh-Mason competed in the 2016 BBC Young Musician final with his first cello concerto. Of course, he emerged as the winner of the competition, in which he had presented himself with a different work by Shostakovich from round to round. His power composer! And there is no doubt that the now 25-year-old musician is one of the greatest talents on the cello. In our soloist cycle, he juxtaposes the cello concerto from 1959 with Ravel's Hebrew melody Kaddish - an elegiac song that unfolds a particularly intense power in the version for cello and strings. And to mark Ravel's year, the Camerata Salzburg also contributes Le tombeau de Couperin , his very personal and highly artistic exploration of French Baroque music.
