The Art of VLADIMIR ORLOFF
Restored recordings and concert broadcasts of one of
20th century most respected cellists. Russian born Vladimir
Orloff enjoyed an illustrious, brilliant solo career
(on both sides of the Iron Curtain) lasting some 30 years, from
the mid-1940's to the mid-1970's. A few of his numerous solo recordings
on East-European labels, are presented now for the
very first time on CD.
