| Galina USTVOLSKAYA: b1919 Her only work for cello, the Grand Duet is a fantastic piece. I consists of four incredibly energetic and dissonant fast movements and a final reflective slow movement. If you're at all interested in contemporary music, listen to this piece |

| Sergei VASILENKO: 1872-1956 Don't know I'm afraid |
| Moishei VAINBERG: 1918-1996 Anther very undeservedly neglected composer. His mentor was Shostakovich. They shared a close friendship and a mutual admiration for their music. Echoes of Shostakovich can be heard in many of Vainbergs works. His string quartets are well eorth a listen. Olympia have recently recorded a large amount of his output, including his complete quartets and symphonies. Most of the works listen here are recorded |
