'Chamber-music playing of the highest order, empathetic and warm-hearted' (Birmingham Post)

'Since the performances are expert in every respect this disc deserves a wide audience' (CIassic CD)

Mendelssohn didn't write very much music for cello and piano - just two sonatas and a few shorter works. Lyrical, and early-Romantic in style, the works are performed by two instrumentalists well-known to the Hyperion catalogue as two-thirds of The Florestan Trio. The performances bring life and imagination to the pieces.

Recorded on 10 11 October 1988
