Alex Yates has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Re: Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 1

Great work ML. LOL.

My "must have" recording of this work is James Thompson w/Montreal. Shostakovich's son and grandson conduct and play the piano part.

Amazon.com: Shostakovich: Concerto No. 1, Op. 35: Music: Dmitry Shostakovich,Maxim Shostakovich,Yuli Turovsky,I Musici de Montréal,Dmitri Shostakovich [pianist],Dmitry Shostakovich,James Thompson

After advice on this board, I use the Trumcor brass bottom straight mute on the second movement.

I also studied this work with Leon Rapier and then again with James Thompson. It is one of my favorites to play.
