¡Rachmaninov & Shostakovich: Piano Trio No.2
¡Alexander Kniazev (cello)
Description
[Machine Translation] [Warner Classics NEXT BEST 100] The acclaimed cellist of destiny, Alexander Knyazev! Alexander Knyazev is a Russian prodigy whose major debut album "Bach: Suite for Unaccompanied Cello (Complete Works)" released from Warner Records in April 2004 received great acclaim from Record Art and other media. In this album, he takes on the piano trios by Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich, two of Russia's greatest composers. Russian composers have a beautiful tradition of composing piano trios to mourn the death of their loved ones and respected predecessors. Rachmaninoff's Piano Trio No. 2 in D minor (Trio of Sorrows) was written in memory of Tchaikovsky, and Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor was written in memory of a close friend. Knyazev himself experienced a serious hardship of losing his wife and child in a car accident, and there is no doubt that his performance is even more spirited than his previous works, which were recorded at the end of his very determined and determined life. Alexander Knyazev (cello), Boris Berezovsky (piano), Dmitry Makhtin (violin)
