Les Siècles, François-Xavier Roth

Chopin: Cello Sonata & Schubert: Arpeggione Sonata
RecommendedSteven Isserlis (cello) & Dénes Várjon (piano)
The solemn Arpeggione is prefigured here by Isserlis’s arrangement of Chopin’s achingly beautiful ‘Nie ma czego trzeba’. Again in this Sonata, the duo offer graceful transparency, lithe refinement... — More…
