The cello-piano combination has inspired composers of all periods. Today we will hear two examples, by Chopin and Rachmaninov, played by well-known artists who are already used to sharing a stage. Svetlana Tovstukha, who this year celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of the start of her career, trained at a special school for young prodigies in her city, Kazan, and immediately confirmed her talent as winner of various awards. Luiz Gustavo Carvalho, who impressed his teacher, Nelson Freire, at a very young age, has worked with artists from outside classical music, such as flamenco musicians, theatre actors and photographers.
