Tchaikovsky:	Serenade for Strings in C major, Op. 48

Moscow Soloists, Yuri Bashmet (director)

Fourth release on ONYX from Moscow Soloists and this time it’s a popular disc of string favourites that have beein their repertoire from the very beginning: Grieg and Tchaikovskys’ homages to the forms of baroque and classical music and one of the favourite works from a composer who inspired them so much, Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik. This disc should be particularly easy to sell as the group play these works very often in concert as party-pieces.

ONYX and Moscow Soloists have enjoyed a very successful run: their first two discs (ONYX4007/ONYX4017) won a Grammy Nomination and Grammy Award respectively and their most recent recording of Tan Dun and Takemitsu (ONYX4027) has got great reviews so far.

Yuri Bashmet has also appeared on two other ONYX discs: his recent recital with Mikhail Muntian called Reminscences (ONYX4032) and as viola player in Julian Rachlin’s all-star Shostakovich disc (ONYX4026).

Katya Apekisheva (piano)

This recording is the solo debut disc from Katya Apekisheva for Quartz. Katya has recorded previously for Quartz with Jack Liebeck. Katya has also performed throughout Russia, Italy, Germany, Holland, Israel, Turkey, USA, South Korea, Phillipinnes and in the UK with the following orchestras, London Philharmonic, CBSO, Philharmonia, Halle, Moscow, Philharmonic, and with the following conductors, Alexander Lazarev, David Shallon, Alexander Rudin, and Sir Simon Rattle. Katya will also be playing recitals with Natalie Klein this summer.

“Katya Apekisheva is a young pianist who has already achieved artistic greatness. A sonority of beguiling warmth and refinement and a rare poetic empathy make you… listen mesmerised as Apekisheva captures the very essence of Grieg's genius.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2008
