Emmanuelle Bertrand, cello
Pascal Amoyel, piano
Two youthful miracles! Fate reserved quite extraordinary treatment for these two sonatas for cello and piano, two firstattempts at the genre that turned out to be masterstrokes ? and were both disowned much later by their respectivecomposers. Admittedly, these two youthful sonatas, whose first performances are separated by an interval oftwenty-three years, both kept one eye on Brahms and Mendelssohn; but if that fact explains the severity with whichReger and Strauss judged them in retrospect, it should not be allowed to obliterate their remarkable accomplishment,a creativity and sense of balance that are quite simply miraculous. They are now among the undisputed peaks of therepertoire, as are the two lovely Romances which are closely linked with them.This title was released for the first time in 2005.
