Sonates & variations pour violoncelle & piano, intégrale

Description

Shai Wosner and Ralph Kirshbaum at the peak of Beethovenian art. Beethoven's Sonatas for Cello and Piano form a fascinating work, of great formal beauty and at the same time full of surprises and limitless inventiveness. Like the performers who confront it, it is the work of a lifetime since the composition encompasses the three most creative periods of Beethoven's life. For cellist Ralph Kirshbaum and pianist Shai Wosner, the recording of this cycle was made the day after a masterful concert in London, the last stop of a world tour that allowed for a deeper exploration of these five sonatas and variations with all the intensity they demand. The recording captures the power and thrill of the stage.
