NCE musicians, Russian born violinist Leonid Sushansky (the Artistic Director of the National Chamber Ensemble), American pianist Dionne Laufman and Polish cellist Lukasz Szyrner play the final movement from the Piano Trio in E minor by Shostakovich. By Aug of 1944 the Russian Troops liberated the Nazi Death Camps and news about the Holocaust started to spread. Shostakovich was very grieved. He wrote the final two movements of the trio as an elegy to the Jews killed in the Holocaust. Shostakovich uses Jewish Folk Music as thematic material for this very moving ending of the trio.
that cellist looks so hardcore.
