Notes & Reviews:

Here is a recording of rarities on two counts. Not only is the music of Kryukov, Vasilenko, Frid, Krein and Bogdanov-Berezovsky little known outside of Russia, but viola sonatas are as welcome as they are scarce. Romantic lyricism, the influence of Scriabin and Shostakovich, Russian emotionalism and a touch of French sensibility - each threads its way through these engaging works which exploit the viola's rich tone. Igor Fedotov and Leonid Vechkhayzer here make their Naxos debuts.
