Sonates pour violoncelle

Description

Since her striking victory at the 2005 Rostropovich Competition (she is the only prizewinner to have won the First Prize and two special jury prizes), Marie-Elisabeth Hecker has now become one of the cellists who matter on the world stage. For her very first sonata recording, she is reunited with her partner on stage and in life, the pianist of great style Martin Helmchen, in a program devoted to Brahms. The combination of the cellist’s playing, described by Die Zeit as “moving and instinctively beautiful,” and that of a “master of sound, tempo and articulation” (Diapason) promises an intimate, lyrical and genuine chamber music moment.
