About
Myaskovsky’s two cello sonatas are woefully neglected works and deserve far wider circulation – romantic and passionate they make a worthy alternative to Rachmaninov’s famous sonata. Coming from the early and late years of the composer’s life, the 2nd sonata was written for Rostropovitch, who championed it and ensured all his pupils studied and learned it. Prokofiev’s Ballade op.15 is an expansive work from his early years and like the Myaskovsky sonatas rarely heard. Pavel Gomziakov and Andrei Korobeinikov are persuasive advocates for these delightful works.

June 2018
Gomziakov can certainly spin a lyrical line and the tone of his C string is a thing of bottomless, velvet-black depth, booming sonorously out over the slightly brittle sound of Korobeinikov’s piano. Climaxes are huge, thunderous cloudbursts
