Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra announce their upcoming album with star pianist Yuja Wang performing Shostakovich’s two piano concertos. The recordings are part of Nelsons' and the BSO’s award-winning decade-long Shostakovich project to mark the 50th anniversary of the composer’s death.

Benefiting from the superb audio quality achieved in the exceptional acoustic of Boston’s Symphony Hall, Yuja Wang gives characteristically dynamic and expressive performances of Shostakovich’s two contrasting piano concertos, written 24 years apart. The new album also features 6 solo piano pieces from Shostakovich’s 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87 & Op. 34
