Cheng² Duo goes Russian: a short history of Russian cello music
For their third audite album, the Cheng² Duo venture to Russia. Portraying part of the cello’s musical history in Russia, Bryan and Silvie Cheng perform a programme centring on three great sonatas for cello and piano by Shostakovich, Rachmaninov and Prokofiev, which are contrasted with a series of shorter works by Arensky, Tchaikovsky and Glazunov.
The Süddeutsche Zeitung described Bryan and Silvie Cheng's last CD, Violonchelo del fuego, dedicated to Spanish music, as an "event of austere and severe, but also dreamy beauty", and praised the siblings' interpretation for "finding the correct idiom which manages to raise the temperature".
