This outstanding new release brings together two of the world’s most sought-after violinists in a pair of rarely-heard 20th-century Russian chamber pieces: Shostakovich’s Five pieces for two violins and piano, and Prokofiev’s Sonata for two violins. Both pieces explore the possibilities of two violins duetting and in dialogue, providing the perfect repertoire to showcase the natural rapport between these two exceptional violinists.
Hailed as ‘one of the most gifted violinists of his generation’ by Süddeutsche Zeitung, Kirill Troussov was supported and guided by Sir Yehudi Menuhin at a young age, while Julia Fischer won first prize at the Menuhin Competition of 1995 and is today celebrated as one of the finest and most versatile violinists in the world.
