This first recording of the works for violin and piano by the Russian composer Vissarion Shebalin (1902–63) – a close friend and colleague of Shostakovich – reveals a surprisingly high number of unsuspected gems: music immediate in its melodic appeal but plumbing real depths of feeling. The integrity of the music reflects the integrity of its composer, as Shostakovich made clear: ‘His kindness, honesty and absolute adherence to principle always amazed me. His enormous talent and great mastery immediately earned him burning love and authority with friends and musical community’.

Sergey Kostylev, violin
Olga Solovieva, piano

1 review for Vissarion Shebalin: Complete Music for Violin and Piano

  1. :

    ‘ These include a first recording of the Myaskovsky and Nechaev sonatas. Toccata benefit from the concentration and singleness of purpose associated with a single composer’s output. They also deliver this in eminently engaged performances by Kostylev and Solovieva presented in very natural and downright honest recorded so’
