There are Mstislav Rostropovich's recordings of Shostakovich and Prokofiev Cello Sonatas and then there are everybody else's recordings. How else could it be otherwise? Not only was Rostropovich by common consent the greatest Russian cellist of the 20th century, but Shostakovich often played his Sonata with Rostropovich and Prokofiev wrote his Sonata for Rostropovich. Everybody else's include everyone from Misha Maisky's passionate but controlled Prokofiev recording to Yo-yo Ma's beautiful but superficial Shostakovich recording. Everybody else's also includes this disc featuring cellist Evangeline Benedetti and pianist Pedja Muzijevic's not quite as passionate but just as controlled Prokofiev and not quite as beautiful but much deeper Shostakovich.

Benedetti and Muzijevic both have fine techniques -- listen to Benedetti sing the high-lying lyrical lines of Prokofiev's central Moderato or Muzijevic slap the sonorities in Shostakovich's high-octane Allegro -- they both have strong tones -- listen to Benedetti hold her own against Muzijevic in Prokofiev's heavy textures or Shostakovich's angular edges -- and they both have a forgivable tendency to linger over moments of breath-taking beauty -- listen to Benedetti in the haunting harmonies of Prokofiev's closing Andante or Muzijevic voice the chords of Shostakovich's central Largo. Although the sound of this Musicians Showcase recording is a tad gray and a bit distant, it still admirably fulfills it's purpose by capturing remarkable performances by little known artists.
