Marco Ceccato (cello), Anna Fontana (piano)
Marco Ceccato and Anna Fontana are well - known performers on the international baroque circuit and familiar faces thanks to their recordings for Outhere labels Alpha, Arcana and Zig - Zag Territoires (including Marco's 2015 Diapason d'or Award winning recording of Boccher ini with Accademia Ottoboni). Now they have come together to tackle the two revolutionary works for piano and cello composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1796 and dedicated to King Frederick William II of Prussia. Their interpretative approach deepens our un derstanding of the final years of that century when a young Beethoven, a child of the 18th century, was grappling with one of his most extraordinary stylistic innovations. These two expert performers have set out to reconstruct historically reliable versio ns of the works, linking Beethoven’s revolutionary harmonic solutions with the 18th - century stylistic features that were still in vogue, from phrasings to Beethoven’s meticulously notated articulations.
