Kanneh-Mason sets the standard for this piece for me. I have listened to a lot of different recordings of this piece and Sheku plays it best! 🧡

Holy moly . . . I think Shostakovich must have discovered a way to create a geometric manifold to lift those that were being used as lambs up, up and out of that dimension of enslavement. There must be layers of existence on a given mathematical level.

The conductor doesn't shake Mr. Kanneh-Mason's hand when it's offered to him before the Shostakovich begins. Very rude behavior IMO.

Well he is black

He does shake his hands at the end. At the beginning, it was just a gesture in the conductor's direction.
