Description
Ukrainian Rhapsody presents performances by the Shelest Piano Duo of pieces for piano solo and piano four hands by Ukranian composers written between the late 19th and 21st centuries. Praised for their 'stirring performances of rare repertory' (Fanfare Magazine), the Shelest Piano Duo (the husband-and-wife team of Anna and Dmitri Shelest) traces its roots to Ukraine. Having been classmates since middle school, the Duo began performing together after their marriage in the US. The release of Ukrainian Rhapsody in 2018 brought renewed attention to the music of their homeland. Since then, the CD has been featured as the Album of the Week on a number of radio stations nationwide (KUSC Los Angeles, WCRB Boston, etc.). Their inventive programs have delighted a broad array of audience members, and, in words of Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, 'realized diplomacy through music.'
