| Naxos | Deep in the heart of the Russian people is a soulfulness that has been captured in the music of their great classical composers. The cello has provided the ideal voice to express this mood, Tchaikovsky's Andante Cantabile, among the most gorgeous moments in the instrument's repertoire. It is a theme taken up by Karl Yulyevich Davidov and Anton Arensky who have produced cello works of affectionate beauty. As a complete contrast, the extrovert Russian character has provides the humour in Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee, and in the quirky fun of Shostakovich's Second Ballet Suite. |
