PRESS

The Songs of our Neighbours

«Primarily contemporary works for violin and cello are presented by the musical couple Julia Smirnova and Konstantin Manaev, who also have a personal connection to them. Kodaly’s duo, which they have cultivated for a long time, is both the musical and factual center of their recording.»
