Cello music flourished in Russia in the 19th century. Tchaikovsky was central to this profusion of composition, writing the celebrated 'Variations on a Rococo Theme', music of Mozartian charm, heard here in the composer's version for cello and piano. Karl Davïdov, who Tchaikovsky called `the tsar of all cellists', contributed a melodious, lyrically inventive and virtuosic 'Fantasy on Russian Songs'. Arensky's graceful character sketches and Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Serenade' are suffused with Romanticism, while the lusty 'Fantasy on Gipsy Songs' by Konstantin Liadov (father of the more famous Anatoly) is the earliest of these pieces and the least known.
