Shchedrin:
The Little Humpbacked Horse [Four Excerpts]
Piano Concerto No.2
Concerto for Orchestra No.1 'Tschastuschi'
Piano Concerto No.5

[Little Humpbacked Horse & Tschastuschi] “talented examples of the interest in Russian culture that binds together the apparently polarised worldly and spiritual aspects of Shchedrin … these finely executed pieces can be counted an important document. [Concertos] if you like your Russian concerto-playing declamatory and armour-plated, it could be just the treat you’re looking for.” (Gramophone)
