These two artists were friends for many years, a wonderful alliance of two genuine musicians. They gave the first performances of many works by composers of the Soviet period, including Michelangleo Buonarrotti’s Sonnets. “The young Nesterenko's dark bass captures these sombre Michelangelo and Shakespeare settings far more idiomatically than non-Russians, and no less effectively the satirical Krokodil poems and grotesque Dostoevesky songs.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2009 “A welcome reissue that is sure to please Shostakovich aficionados.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2009 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
