Gliere / Hulshoff / Eichhorn 10 Duos For Two Cellos CD

A highly decorated composer in Soviet Russia, Reinhold Gli?re maintained a low political profile and a conservative but astonishingly inventive melodic style. His interest in national harmonies and folk-music emerges in the Twelve Album Leaves, and his remarkably important contribution to cello repertoire is demonstrated both in his mastery of small forms in the Duets Op 39, and a unique ability to create orchestral sonorities in the Duets Op 53, a rare example of an original cycle for the delightful combination of two cellos.

1. Eight Duets for Violin and Cello, Op. 39 2. Ballade for Cello and Piano, Op. 4; 3. Ten Duets for Two Cellos, Op. 53 4. Twelve Album Leaves for Cello and Piano, Op. 51
