Robin Michael (cello) & Daniel Tong (piano)
Cellist Robin Michael and pianist Daniel Tong present a fascinating new recording of the two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms along with Robert Schumann's distinctive Fünf Stücke im Volkston.
Taking a historically informed approach, this unique-sounding performance of these mainstays of the repertoire gives a captivating insight into the chamber music sound world of the late-nineteenth century, performed on an 1897 Blüthner boudoir grand piano thought to have been played by and selected by Brahms himself from the maker's factory, and a cello with gut strings.
| BRAHMS, Johannes (1833-1897) | | | Sonata No. 1 for Cello and Piano in E minor, Op. 38 | | | 1. | I. Allegro non troppo | 13:26 | | | 2. | II. Allegretto quasi menuetto | 5:37 | | | 3. | III. Allegro | 6:23 | | | Fünf Stücke im Volkston, Op. 102. | | | 4. | I. Vanitas vanitatum | 2:57 | | | 5. | II. Langsam | 3:24 | | | 6. | III.

Allegro molto | 4:41 | | 'The playing is virtuosic but the sound world is subtly shaded, almost restrained, and recreates the atmosphere of an intimate recital in a tasteful 19th-century drawing room. Recommended.'
