The St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra is Russia’s oldest symphonic ensemble, founded in 1882. Joining the orchestra is American cellist Alisa Weilerstein (b. 1982), who has attracted attention for playing that combines a natural virtuosic command with impassioned musicianship. “Shostakovich's first cello concerto has all the demands to challenge any concert cellist, and Weilerstein was able to match them with explosive power...” (BBC Music Magazine)
