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 presented 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.
