Parnassus presents legendary recordings of cello masterworks from one of the greatest cellists of the early 20th Century, Daniil Borisovich Shafran. It was a quirk of fate that the Soviet Union should have produced, within the space of four years, two of the greatest cellists of the age, Mstislav Rostropovich and Daniil Borisovich Shafran. It was a particular misfortune for Shafran that Rostropovich should have been so visible a musician, culturally and politically, as Shafran was largely overlooked. These recordings look to shine a spotlight on this great artist in full remasterings by Paul Arden-Taylor. Track listing: Robert Schumann Violin Concerto in D Minor, WoO 23 (26:59) I.
