Naive: V5121

"…it's the playing that makes these three sonatas really come alive. Anne Gastinel is one of the finest French cellists around, and she's a superb chamber music player, as you'll know if you've heard her Naïve recording of Rachmaninov and Strauss Sonatas with Pierre-Laurent Aimard." Andrew Mcgregor, BBC Radio 3, on Anne Gastinel’s recording Beethoven Cello Sonatas (V4297)

“With an easy technique and a mellow yet focused sound, she dances to the Allemandes, scampers through the Courantes and oozes character in the "galanterie" movements. Above all she plays with a singing tone that reaches its apogee in the Sarabandes, most notably those of the Fourth and Sixth suites which for sheer sustained sweet lyricism are among the most beautiful I have heard. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008
