Schubert - Cello Transcriptions

I found the Fantasy, especially, remarkably convincing in its new guise. The transposition to cello...enhances the sense of virtuosity as Wispelwey triumphantly surmounts each hurdle...As expected...

About
Schubert’s evergreen Arpeggione Sonata is coupled with new arrangements by Pieter Wispewey of the great Fantasy in C or 1827 and the Duo in A of 1817. The latter two were written for the violin, and the sonata for the now extinct arpeggione.- a hybrid guitar/cello instrument.
The much anticipated second album from Pieter Wispelwey for Onyx.. His debut recording for the label of the Walton Cello Concerto (4042) was received with critical acclaim.

I found the Fantasy, especially, remarkably convincing in its new guise. The transposition to cello...enhances the sense of virtuosity as Wispelwey triumphantly surmounts each hurdle...As expected from these artists, the performance of the Arpeggione Sonata is most accomplished.
