Leonid Gorokhov (cello)
Bobby Chen (piano)

This rare collection of works offers an insight into the creative heritage of the great cellists of the past as composers and arrangers. "Virtuoso Cello Transcriptions"combines highly virtuosic performing with a nostalgic look at the past, ranging from the baroque through to Schnittke. Since his studies with Nikitin and Shafran, and following early successes at competitions in Paris and Geneva, Leonid Gorokhov has been in great demand as soloist with orchestras throughout Europe. A large discography for Melodya and Supraphon has won many plaudits and his recent CD "Russian Discoveries" was voted Record of the Month by London's Classic FM.
