“…Its opening Adagio movement alone (short audio clip below), with its intensely doleful temperament, will grab and sustain your full attention from start to finish. And again, cellist Nikolay Shugaev digs deep to project its full emotive impact.“

“… In questa versione sinfonica fino ad oggi difficilmente reperibili in disco Shugaev conferma le sue doti di spolvero tecnico e generosa comunicativa ed e` ac- compagnato con misura e preci- sione da @valentinuryupin1985 sul podio della disciplinata orchestra russa @rostovsymphony .”

“…Nikolay Shugaev is an eloquent soloist in all three works, he and Dmitrii Prokofiev are well matched in the Ghedini, and the Rostov Academic Symphony Orchestra provide sensitive support throughout under the direction of Valentin Uryupin. Strongly recommended, then, for Ghedini’s concerto; its unique atmosphere continues to haunt me.” - Andrew Farach-Colton
