Defining the Slavic Soul via Cello & Piano: an Interview with Matt Haimovitz & Christopher O'Riley

Cellist Matt Haimovitz and pianist Christopher O'Riley take on the "Slavic soul" of Russian music in their latest two-disc release Troika.

"I think we are straddling the idea of three separate generations of Russian music in exile and in protest," explains Christopher O'Riley regarding their selections of Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Schoenberg & more unusual suspects such as the punk band Pussy Riot for the project.
