Rastrelli Cello Quartet; Michael Thompson; Asya Fateyeva - RASTRELLI EFFECT

This new CD was recorded in the year of our 20th anniversary. And all pieces in this CD are exclusive original compositions. We composed them during the last few years, and each of us has tried to find his very own voice. And yet every piece on this CD is the result of our collegiality, our mutual support, reflecting our constant exchange on our individual tastes and preferences, as well as our critiques and the sense of humour of each Rastrelli member. This CD provided each of us with a good opportunity to grow, to set new goals, to solve new tasks, to develop new methods. But our most important prerequisite from the very beginning has remained: our strong desire to express the music that each of us hears and feels within himself, sharing it, first among the colleagues and now with our audience! In this project, too, we have again recognised that music is the finest means of communication among people. That is why we dare to present this colourful collection of music to our listeners and friends. May you enjoy it as much as we do!
