German cellist Lukas Plag plays Shostakovich's First Cello Concerto, and there's music by Mozart and Richard Strauss.

Presented by Ian Skelly

Shostakovich wrote his first cello concerto for the great Russian virtuoso Mstislav Rostropovich and, ever since, it has been championed by cellists around the world. Despite its seemingly innocuous opening, it packs a hefty emotional punch.
