Info for Myaskovsky: Cello Sonatas

Als „Vater der sowjetischen Sinfonie“ wurde Nikolay Myaskovsky (1881–1950) gleich fünfmal mit dem Stalinpreis ausgezeichnet. Bis zum heutigen Tag wird er vor allem als Komponist seiner 27 Sinfonien und seines berühmten Cellokonzerts wahrgenommen. Seine Kammermusik blieb und bleibt indes weitgehend unbeachtet. Seine beiden Cellosonaten stehen tief in der russischen Tradition einer melancholisch eingefärbten Romantik. Das junge italienische Kammerduo Cecilia Novarino (Klavier) und Luca Magariello (Cello) legt eine frische, jugendliche, emotional aufgeladene Neuaufnahme der beiden unterschätzten Sonaten vor.
