About
This new recording (recorded in 2012) brings together two great, but altogether different, 20th century Cello Sonatas from Russia: the gorgeous and deeply romantic cello sonata by Rachmaninov, of near‐symphonic proportions, and the cello sonata by Prokofiev, a hybrid piece of his later period, a fascinating mixture of the romantic, the grotesque and the introspective side of the multi-faceted composer.
As interludes we hear arrangements of Tchaikovsky’s ballet music from Sleeping Beauty, and the Sérénade Espagnole by Glazunov, a brilliant show piece.
Beautiful, expressive and 'Slavic' performances by Russian cellist Alexander Russakovsky.
