About

“I love his playing. Sebastian Comberti came up with the best description ...it was like finding the last member of a lost tribe of cellists. His playing takes you right back to a different era” – Stephen Isserlis

“[Schubert:] Shafran emerges as very able … not as rhythmically wayward as Rostropovich … the finale has an irresistible rhythmic lilt. [Shostakovich] presents a fuller picture of Shafran’s artistry. He plays with very serious commitment, considerable tonal variety and technical ease, and has a splendid partner in Lydia Pecherskaya - a very perceptive musician throughout the Schubert too. The charm of the Allegretto is very well caught by both artists” – Gramophone

“Shafran claimed that his affinity with the concerto began before birth: his father was practising it when his mother went into labour and was reluctant to take her to the hospital until it was perfect!” – Gramophone (Haydn)

Recorded New York 1961 (Schubert, Shostakovich), Moscow 1962 (Haydn)
