Nikolay Andreyevich Roslavets was viewed by his Russian colleagues as one of the most original, innovative and progressive composers of the 1920s. The early works heard on this recording are characterised by passion, drama, mystery, lyricism and a sheer beauty of sound underpinned by that lingering melancholy said to inhabit 'the Russian soul'. Bulgarian cellist Lachezar Kostov and pianist Viktor Valkov, his long-time collaborator, are ideal interpreters of this brilliantly-crafted music.
