Evgeny Nesterenko sings Shostakovich

Shostakovich:

Suite on Verses of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Op. 145

Cordelia’s Ballad from music to Shakespeare’s tragedy ’King Lear’

The Fool’s Songs from music to Shakespeare’s tragedy ’King Lear’

Preface to the complete works and brief reflections on this preface Op. 123

Five Romances on words from Krokodil magazine, Op. 121

Four Verses of Captain Lebyadkin, Op. 146

Evgeny Nesterenko (bass) & Evgeny Shenderovich (piano)

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.

“A welcome reissue that is sure to please Shostakovich aficionados.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2009

“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
