Both these especially lyrical works were composed specifically for these star players whose recordings have generally been accepted as definitive.
Review:
Improving on Yuri Bashmet’s recordings was never going to be an easy task. Other performers may play the piece, but Bashmet lives it. The Cello concerto was written for Gutman, and she takes possession of it with playing that blazes with emotional conviction as well as technical command. It comes to life in a finale that seems to cross the anguished soul-searching of the last section of Berg’s Violin Concerto with the heaven-storming assertions that conclude Mahler’s Third Symphony. Schnittke added (this) after his near fatal illness in 1985, and its blend of triumph and foreboding is awesome.
