A fresh take on Brahms’s sonatas for cello and piano, inspired by the playing style of Brahms and his closest colleagues.
Brahms’s sonatas for cello and piano are among the most beloved in the repertoire. Over the last century and a half, they have developed an august performing tradition, and in the process have lost some of the freshness and vitality that they had when they were new. This debut recording restores that freshness, guided by a rich historical record surrounding the Brahms circle’s playing style.
