Vict
oria Yagling (1946-2011)
was born in Russia and
lived in Finland since
1990. Her long career as
a cellist served as an
excellent accompaniment
to the composition she
began at an early age.
For 11 years she was a
cello student of Mstislav
Rostropovich at the
Moscow Conservatory and
Dmitry Kabalevsky and
Tikhon Khrennikov taught
her composition. Yagling
won the first prize in
the Gaspar Cassado Cello
Competition and the
following year the second
prize in the Moscow
Tchaikovsky Competition.
Her solo engagements took
her to countless
countries. She has also
taught at several
international music
courses and master
classes and was often a
jury member for
international cello
competitions. Yagling
left a profilic oeuvre,
and the three cello
concertos are her main
works. Her other
orchestral works include
Finnish Notebook, Lyrical
Preludes and the Suite
for Cello and String
Orchestra. She has also
composed solo works (e.g.
the Suite for Cello Solo
No. 1 chosen as an
obligatory piece for the
7th Tchaikovsky
Competition in Moscow in
1982), chamber works,
including two string
quartets, and vocal
music. Her expressive,
romantically orientated
style is Russian in
spirit and has grown out
of the soil provided by
Prokofiev and
Shostakovich. Yagling was
a skillful pianist, able
to master works of such a
level as Chopin's Etudes.
The amount of her piano
works surpasses five
hours of music.
