Description:

A collection of Russian works by a famous Russian female cellist A collection of Russian works by Marina Tarasova, one of Russia's leading cellists for many years, winner of international competitions in Prague, Florence, and Paris. All three pieces in the collection were dedicated to Rostropovich. The Shevarine sonata is a world premiere recording. The Kabalevsky sonata is one of the finest works in the 20th century cello repertoire, unparalleled in its philosophical and meditative depth. Prokofiev's Concertino is the most beautiful example of that rare combination in him of lyricism and Russian soil. In Shevarine's sonata we experience images of old Moscow, the ringing of church bells, and the dances of sailors." (Marina Tarasova) King International
