Product-Information:
Twenty-one years ago the young Steven Isserlis, for his debut recording, made a disc of the Brahms cello sonatas which received superb reviews and became one of Hyperion’s early best-sellers. Now regarded as one of the great cellists of our time, Steven has revisited these works—this time in partnership with his equally high-profile colleague Stephen Hough—to give us his latest thoughts on these masterpieces.
Described by Isserlis in his eloquent booklet notes as cornerstones of the repertory, Brahms’s two cello sonatas perfectly convey the passion their composer had for the instrument which he mastered in his youth.
This new recording also includes charming pieces by Dvorák and Suk, both of whom were influenced by Brahms.
Rezensionen
'[Isserlis's] current recording with Hough displaces all others: at last two musicians have taken this work and delivered a spontaneous stream of musical dialectic that makes perfect sense' (BBC Music Magazine)
'an evocative performance by Isserlis and his partner Stephen Hough, which marries effusive warmth and inward eloquence' (Evening Standard)
'deeply considered, immensely satisfying accounts. Isserlis and Hough make a formidable team and I look forward to more duo sonatas' (Gramophone)
'You won't find a finer or more intelligent partnership than Steven Isserlis and Stephen Hough to play these mainstays of the cello repertory, nor perhaps a more imaginative or generous supporting programme. This is Brahms at its best' (The Strad)
