5 Pieces (on Folk Themes) for Cello and Piano; Sulkhan Tsintsadze (Sikorski)

This set of pieces on folk themes by Georgian composer Sulkhan Tsintsadze (1925-91) is one of the best hidden gems of the cello repertoire, championed by cellists like Steven Isserlis and Amit Peled. A special highlight is the all-pizzicato No. 2 "Tschonguri", which imitates the unique sound of Georgian folk music.
