| |  | Duo: Helene Grimaud & Sol Gabetta
Two of today's most passionate and inspirational artists join forces in the recital programme that brought audiences to their feet at the Menuhin Festival in Gstaad in Summer 2011. The chemistry between Hélène Grimaud and Sol Gabetta left critics and audiences nothing short of euphoric and this first duo recording captures the revelatory magic of their collaboration The album reprises the same programme the duo performed in Gstaad: Robert Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, Claude Debussy’s Sonata for Cello and Piano in D minor, Johannes Brahms Sonata for Cello and Piano No.1 in E minor and Dmitri Shostakovich’s Sonata for Cello and Piano. Hélène’s recordings have been best-sellers on the Yellow Label with more than 800,000 units sold altogether to date. Sol is also a best-selling, chart-storming artist, who is regarded as one of the great cellists of our day. “Grimaud produces a context of almost orchestral depth and spaciousness into which Gabetta projects her eloquently refined lines...Debussy's riveting Sonata benefits from Grimaud's subtle palette of timbres, and the cellist's willingness to let her sound ring free....[for the Shostakovich] Gabetta finds her vicious streak, with thrilling results in the finale.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2013 *** “Gabetta plays the Schumann Drei Fantasiestücke and Brahms Sonata No 1 mellifluously, without revealing much beneath the surface. Grimaud is ever-attentive, but there’s little sense of two personalities striking sparks.” Financial Times, 3rd November 2012 **** “There is a lightness to all the performances that creates an engagingly lyrical sound that is pleasurable to listen to...That this disc falls down a little by way of its great delicacy and slight tentativeness...would not be in any way a criticism to most musical collaborations. That it is to Grimaud and Gabetta is simply testament to their potential as a truly incendiary collaboration.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2013 “their quixotic musical personalities do match; there's a lightness of touch and an element of spontaneityin Gabetta's playing that corresponds to the impulsive aspects of Grimaud's pianism...You wouldn't always want Brahms like this, but it's still worthwhile.” The Guardian, 29th November 2012 **** “the duo's playful work on Schumann's “Drei Fantasiestücke” bears out both Grimaud's assessment and the pair's shared sensibilities. Brahms' Sonata for Piano and Cello No.1 in E minor, though possessed of more gravitas, is more lightly dealt with than I've heard before, while they bring a questing spirit to Debussy's Sonata for Cello and Piano in D minor” The Independent, 13th October 2012 *** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

A series of three chamber concerts celebrated the Hungarian cellist Miklós Perényi’s 60 anniversary with one of his closest musical colleagues the Hungarian pianist András Schiff. This recording is a document of the concerts held in their alma mater the Liszt Academy of Music Budapest, which for four hours offered a unique experience of music performed by two outstanding musicians. Perényi had finished his studies both at the Music Academy Budapest with Miklós Zsámboki and Ede Banda and the Rome Santa Cecilia Academy at Enrico Mainardi. Schiff became a pupil of Pál Kadosa at Budapest and later immersed himself in the great European schools of performance like master classes by Amadeus Webersinke and George Malcolm. The program was compiled by Miklós Perényi and András Schiff - all three concerts begin and end with Bach and Beethoven, bookending works by Mendelssohn, Chopin, Brahms, Debussy, Janácek and Bartok. “…Perényi…plays with the mesmerising stillness and control of his compatriot János Starker, without the icy precision: there's spontaneity and warmth here, the occasional smile lights up his mournful clown face, though his bows to applause are almost comically shy. Highlights include a vivid, rapturous Bartók Rhapsody and a brilliant Podháka, Janacek's deft miracle of duo composition. Mendelssohn's and Brahms's Sonata No. 1 are warmly flowing and sure, while their Chopin sonata reaches its climax in a magnificently intense slow movement.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2009 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Bach & Brahms - Cello & Piano Transcriptions
“Here are two performers of one mind musically. Their interpretations of all three Bahms Sonatas are beautifully paced, distinctively shaped and detailed. Cooper's reading of Kurtág's arrangement of Bach's BWV106 'Actus tragicus' is a haunting gem.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 **** “[In the] Brahms's cello sonatas… Sonia Weider-Atherton and Imogen Cooper… hold the tension for the very soft, near nostalgic beauty of the E major coda, as they do for the many bars of pianissimo writing in the last movement of the Second Sonata. Not since Mstislav Rostropovich and Rudolf Serkin have these works been interpreted with such compulsive acuity... The Bach transcriptions are persuasive. ...Cooper steals this particular show in a meltingly moving re-creation of the Sonatina from Cantata No 106 that ought to be played first and last.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 “A perceived similarity between a theme in Bach's Art of Fugue and the opening of Brahm's first cello sonata led Sonia Wieder-Atherton and Imogen Cooper to experiment with musical relationships, arranging movements from Bach cantatas as punctuation marks between three Brahms sonatas. This unconvincing contrivance fails on many levels. It leaves the listener wanting more Bach while the Brahms sonatas - splendidly played, particularly in the turbulent outer movements - seem almost an interruption rather than an extension of a musical idea.” The Observer, 3rd August 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
