Memorable melodies and a descriptive sense of place mark out Alexey Shor's two concertos. The Cello Concerto juxtaposes styles across the epochs in pursuit of a unique 'musical pilgrimage', while in the Violin Concerto No. 3 his focus is on 'seasonal' Manhattan, as he adds a contemporary vision to the historical precedents set by Vivaldi and Piazzolla. Phoenix is a rhapsodic fantasy, lyrical and full of variation, which evokes a sense of renewal and transformation, while Schubertango offers a celebration of playful contrasts.
