"The Brendel family values: eloquence, energy and sheer joy in music-making. Adrian and Alfred Brendel, a team that has been performing these works in concert for quite some time."
(Gramophone)
"Often what Adrian does is what I imagine I would do if I played a stringed instrument"
Alfred Brendel in The Guardian (London) June 2004
Two generations of one family come together to record Beethoven's complete works for cello and piano. Cellist Adrian Brendel and his father, the legendary Alfred Brendel, join forces for particularly touching performances of these rich and varied works, which they have recently performed together on the concert stage to rapturous critical acclaim...
"I cannot recall the slow movement sounding more hauntingly beautiful, Adrian's Stradivarius pouring forth such abundant sound. And for once, the final fugue, played so delicately, made absolute structural sense. The Brendels' forthcoming Beethoven recordings should be extremely impressive."
