It is not by Pau Casals; he popularized it, but it is actually an old traditional catalan song.

[@MrTurtle11]

I'm fairly sure he recomposed it. At least that's what I was told

[@valarcon9132]

@@MrTurtle11 Not the melody, the melody is a catalan medieval one. He made the arrangements.

This is the bis of Shostakovich 2 cello concerto. Could you publish the complete concert? Thanks very much

[@perrymanso6841]

You're wrong.

[@xavisan6751]

This is "el cant dels ocells by Pau Casals" or in English the Carroll of the birds

@@xavisan6751 He doesn't say it's Shostakovich, he says it's an encore to that concerto. However, he's partly right: according to the website, it's the encore to Shostakovich' first cello concerto. Both this encore and the Shostakovich can be found on the website of the Concertgebouw Orchestra.
