{"product_id":"russian-music-for-cello-piano","title":"Russian Music for Cello \u0026 Piano","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican cellist Wendy Warner pairs a huge, lustrous tone with diamond-edge virtuosity, apt for a protégé of Russian icon Mstislav Rostropovich. She is ideal in this set of 20th-century Russian pieces with Moscow-bred pianist Irina Nuzova. The Adagio from Prokofiev's ballet Cinderella\" could melt the hardest heart, especially when played with Warner's passion. The Sonata No. 2 by Nikolai Miaskovsky, an elder contemporary of Prokofiev, brims with dark lyricism; the duo make its neglect seem unjust. A Scriabin etude transcribed by cello great Gregor Piatigorsky comes across like an operatic aria, while Alfred Schnittke's \"Musica Nostalgica\" is a post-modernist dream of old Russia. Rachmaninoff's big Cello Sonata is another experience in melodic melancholy, with Warner's tonal palette all woody brown and smoldering red.\" -- Bradley Bambarger, Newark Star Ledger\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedille","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49705501032728,"sku":"735131912020","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/1698503.jpg?v=1777578702","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/russian-music-for-cello-piano","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
