Karen Kaderavek:
Cello Alchemy |
 Multi-talented
cellist Karen Kaderavek, who has enjoyed a prestigious
career as soloist and chamber artist, performs a varied
set of works from twentieth-century Russian and Eastern
European composers.
Joined on most of the album by pianist
Randall Hodgkinson, Cello Alchemy presents works
by Rodion Shchedrin, Leos Janácek, Aram Khachaturian,
Nikolai Roslavetz, Alfred Mendelsohn and Alexander
Mossolov.
The recording includes excellent notes
by John Wiser, delving into the fascinating lives of the
composers who created marvelous music in often tumultuous
times and circumstances under which many of these pieces
were composed.
