Editorial Review:
Album Description:
These central works of cello literature are interpreted here by a master – Kyrill Rodin was awarded not only First Prize, but also Gold Medal, at the 1986 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Since then, Rodin has been one of the most sought-after soloists in Russia, the former Soviet states, and many other European countries. The Russian Philharmonic Orchestra was founded by Igor Oistrakh, Yuri Temirkanov and a union of concert workers. Many famous conductors have worked with the orchestra, including Svetlanov, Rozhdestvensky, Kondrashin, Kitaenko and Fedoseyev. They have made over 100 CDs. In 1959, soon after the completion of the Symphony No. 11, Shostakovich wrote his Cello Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major Op. 107; he dedicated it to Mstislav Rostropovich, who premiered the work. The Cello Concerto No. 2 in G major Op. 126 is also dedicated to Rostropovich. The composer created it between two vocal soloist/choral symphonies while seeking rejuvenation in a sanatorium in Yalta in 1966.

The main difference I immediately noticed in these two performances is that Schiff's is somewhat more restrained in the Allegretto and Allegro movements. This is most noticeable in the first movement (Allegretto) of Cello Concerto No. 1, where the sound of the cello is more sharply delineated and set off from the ... Read More
