About "Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Major, Op. 102: I. Allegro" by Cristian Măcelaru
Shostakovich's Allegro from the Second Piano Concerto bursts with youthful mischief. The piano skips like a child let loose in a toy shop, yet the orchestra's brass interjections carry a wry, knowing edge—joy that knows it is fleeting, a grin with a shadow behind it.
