This new recording presents two iconic violin sonatas in an arrangement for cello and piano.
Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata and Franck's Violin Sonata are two undisputed masterpieces of the violin repertoire. Their power of structure, expression and imagination transcends their mere instrumental restrictions, their human message stands above the musical matter.
The arrangement for cello and piano sheds a new light on the music, enriching and enhancing its dark and dramatic atmosphere, while giving a new dimension to their lyrical and ethereal sections.
The Beethoven arrangement is by the famous 19th century cellist Franchomme (also dedicatee of Chopin's cello sonata), the Franck arrangement is by Jules Delsart, with permission of Franck himself.
Beautiful and heartfelt performances by Roberto Trainini and Cristiano Burato, who already successfully recorded cello sonatas by Martucci for Brilliant Classics (BC94816).
