Dmitri Shostakovich Complete works for cello

Raphael Wallfisch, cello
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Martyn Brabbins, conductor
John York, piano

Shostakovich composed both his Cello Concertos for Mstislav Rostropovich, whose artistry he greatly admired, and they are among his most personal works. Their critical reception was however very different - the bravura First Concerto was almost immediately recognized internationally as a masterpiece, whereas the reception of the Second Concerto, more elusive in its atmosphere and significance, was considerably more muted. Since its first appearance, however, it has slowly but steadily established itself as an equal classic of the repertoire.

The archive page is an index of previous front pages of the website, and therefore effectively a list of when new releases and re-issues have been made since the start of 2003.
Within the site there is a list of our successful range of box sets, a complete list of audio from each section of the catalogue, descriptions of our transfer techniques for both the Prima Voce series of 78 rpm recordings and for the Grand Piano series of piano roll recordings, an introduction to our series of Surround Sound DVD Music discs, an explanation of Nimbus' position on copyright on the Internet and elsewhere and a more extended list of contacts should you wish to bring something to our attention.
If you cannot find an appropriate person to whom to address any comments, suggestions or questions, please send them to me and I will pass them on. I hope you enjoy our site.
