About

Boris Andrianov and Rem Urasin’s new disc, like their previous, is dedicated to the music of two great Russian composers, Rachmaninov and Shostakovich.

In Russia, the 20th century was a time of vast historical and cultural change. If Rachmaninov’s Romances are the poignant swansong of late Romanticism and the passing age, the young Shostakovich’s piano preludes, written a mere 20 years later, create a wholly new sort of expression.

This programme presents a unique transcription of Rachmaninov’s Romances, letting us see them in an entirely new light. The cello takes the place of the voice, elevating the music into a world of imagery, finessing the words which usually bring these images to concrete life.
