About
A lifelong friend of Prokofiev and frequently performed outside of Soviet Russia in his lifetime, Nikolai Myaskovsky is best known today for his 27 symphonies. His lyrical and intensely passionate First Cello Sonata was one of his first important works, finished not long after completing his studies in St Petersburg. Premiered by Rostropovich, the Second Cello Sonata became immediately popular amongst cellists for its imaginative blend of folk-music styles with a sweet Romanticism that recalls Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. The award-winning duo of Kehayova and Miller complete this recording with the perfect encore – Rimsky-Korsakov’s melodious Serenade.

Awards and reviews
October 2021
Liliana Kehayova has the right singing tone, and if the personality doesn’t exactly leap out at you, that’s partly due to the slightly recessed recorded sound and to the nature of the two sonatas. Likewise Kristina Miller deals well with some bigboned pianistic writing in the First
Sonata.

It may be that no one will ever play this music ‘better’ [than Rostropovich] but how wonderful that more and more accomplished young musicians are exploring Myaskovsky’s elusive, autumnal world.
