Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto

[Ken Smith]

Have any of you played the Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto #1 before? The Bass pizz from reh. 9 starts with Low C and is LOW all over this movement and in spots throughout the piece. Listening to 2 different YouTube vids and trying to look at the basses, I HEAR them playing it up an octave and not playing the line from the Low C up. Is this a copyist mistake, lazy players in both orchestras done decades apart or just a tasteful section change?

If you know anything about what is supposed to be played, please tell me. I have one day left before the first rehearsal and the concert is Saturday. It's best I know what to play on day one.
