Notes & Reviews:

Dmitri Shostakovich, Mikhail Glinka, Alexander Glazunov, Igor Stravinksy, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Piotr Tchaikovsky - this CD brings together six very different Russian composers from two centuries, all of whom have one thing in common: their close ties with St. Petersburg. Providing a deep insight into the life and culture of the most northerly metropolis in the world, we see how these composers inspired and influenced one another, all with deep ties to the Russian National School of Music.

"Well supported by pianist Roglit Ishay, she seeks to make some kind of statement about a city in which she herself studied, its rich interconnected legacy of composing talent and those magical summer nights when the latitude of 60 degrees north ensures that it never gets really dark. Students of her instrument will be fascinated to explore the mix of viola originals and arrangements...eloquent music-making, vividly captured" - Gramophone
