Firma Melodiya presents an LP with recordings by one of the best domestic cellists of the 20th century, Daniil Shafran.

His artistic image was always perceived as a unique phenomenon on the background of contemporary performing arts. Emotional vividness, deep intellectualism, impeccable technique – one would forget all that when listening to Shafran’s concert performance or studio recording, be it Bach or Shostakovich, Beethoven or Schumann.
 
The album features Shafran’s renditions of works by Robert Schumann, Claude Debussy and César Franck. The recordings were made in 1970.
