BBT Project: Ravel Shostakovich CD on Challenge Classics
“… this performance has terrific integrity, blending bitterness and irony with the elegiac, brooding quality provoked by the death of Shostakovich’s friend and ally Ivan Sollertinsky, to whose memory the Trio is dedicated. The Mondrian’s colours and textures in the Ravel are luminous, with delicacy and gusto achieving a fine equilibrium.”
