Alexander Ivashkin (cello), Irina Schnittke (piano) & Tatiana Grindenko (violin) Russian State Symphony Orchestra, Valeri Polyansky This newly compiled two-CD set is taken from four back catalogue CDs and features the distinguished cellist Alexander Ivashkin, a friend of Alfred Schnittke from 1969 until the latter’s death in 1998. 'A disc that critic Philip Clark calls in his review “the definitive
document of Schnittke’s relationship with the cello” can make for uncomfortable listening. Properly so, as the First Concerto was composed around Schnittke’s dreadful stroke in 1985. Welcome to his uncompromising world.' - James Inverne - Gramophone Magazine “The definitive document of Alfred Schnittke's relationship with the cello…” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008 “Alfred Schnittke's biographer and passionate advocate Ivashkin is a completely reliable exponent of this intense music, joined by the composer's widow in the sonatas and by violinist Tatiana Grindenko in the nostalgic Concerto Grosso.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
