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.
