    11. Shostakovich - Five Pieces for 2 Violins & Piano, 1. Prelude (arr. Atovyman)

    Another intimate chamber piece and another return to Shostakovich. It's only a couple of minutes long, but that's plenty of time to get lost in the intertwining violin lines and soak up the otherworldly splendour of this gorgeous compositional soupçon.
