Recommended Shostakovich?

I recently heard a performance of the Shostakovich Concerto for Piano, Trumpet and Strings for the first time and I have decided I need to discover more of his music. I'd appreciate any recommendations for memorable pieces, performances and sonics, including good box sets. Thanks to all.
