Nikolay Shugaev

**Nikolay Shugaev** is a Russian cellist celebrated for his rich, emotive performances and dedication to both classical staples and underappreciated 20th-century repertoire. Known for his collaborations with orchestras like the Russian Philharmonic and Ural Youth Symphony, Shugaev has carved a niche by spotlighting composers like Mieczysław Weinberg and Italian modernists (Malipiero, Ghedini, Casella) through albums that blend technical precision with storytelling warmth. His recent releases, including explorations of Brahms and Beethoven, showcase his versatility and knack for breathing new life into familiar works. When he’s not touring or recording, Shugaev shares his expertise as a educator at the Moscow Conservatory, mentoring the next generation of cellists.
