Russian Romantics - Tchaikovsky and Leokadiya Kashperova

Anastasia Kobekina and Luka Okros play the richly romantic Cello Sonata no. 2 by Leokadiya Kashperova, born 150 years ago this year. An important figure in St Petersburg musical life - not least as 'the finest' pupil of Anton Rubinstein and the piano teacher of one Igor Stravinsky - the score of Kashperova's lyrical sonata was forgotten about after the Revolution of 1916. This sonata must surely rank as one of the most assured Opus 1's in musical history so it's not surprising that Kashperova was once the toast of St Petersburg musical life. This recording was the work's premiere performance in modern times.
