Shostakovich：Viola Sonata Op.147／Nobuko Imai & Emanuel Ax

[@soniaguterman5084]

Exquisite sensitive performance by both players, captures the infinite sadness of the last piece Shostakovich wrote, and the piece requested by my late husband on his deathbed. So beautiful, so beautiful, he said. His last words.

Breathtaking and horrifying genius. A magnificent performance. I am speechless and exhausted by the end. Wow…

[@daniela.harris9052]

Wonderful performance of a great piece. DS has written so well for the lower register of the viola.

A great performance on a terrible audio. Sad :(

[@kiak.matthews76]

So sad about the audio quality! But, better to have a recording than nothing at all...

I have garbage headphones and wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t been comment scrolling.
