Here is a recording of rarities on two counts. Not only is the music of Kryukov, Vasilenko, Frid, Krein and Bogdanov-Berezovsky little known outside of Russia, but viola sonatas are as welcome as they are scarce. Romantic lyricism, the influence of Scriabin and Shostakovich, Russian emotionalism and a touch of French sensibility - each threads its way through these engaging works which exploit the viola's rich tone.

Tracks:

Kryukov: Viola Sonata, Op. 15
Vasilenko: Viola Sonata, Op. 46
Frid: Viola Sonata, Op. 62, No. 1
Krein: Viola Sonata
Bogdanov-Berezovsky: Viola Sonata, Op. 44
