The duo Hecker-Helmchen is renowned for the high level of their performances, which of course is reflected in their recordings. Twenty years ago, German cellist Marie-Elisabeth Hecker caused a sensation by winning First Prize and two Special Prizes at the eighth Rostropovich Competition, and Martin Helmchen has also been performing for twenty years on the most prestigious international stages. They share a close collaboration, both on the concert stage and in their private life, and are also passionate advocates of chamber music. This selection of Russian music for cello and piano is a journey through the most beautiful and intense works of the 20th century and will undoubtedly occupy a special place in their discography.
