About

The young German cellist Johannes Moser is now an international music celebrity. He has built his reputation in part on his exquisite performances of surprising chamber music repertoire. He continues in this vein with a selection of English works for cello and piano. With a large, full richly moderated tone, Johannes Moser’s cello perfectly fits these British works. Both cellist and pianist are in their element.

March 2011

[Moser] brings out an armoury of colours and articulation [in the Bridge], along with a fine sense of architecture which places this performance with the very best...Rivinius, too, brings a rare energy to all three sonatas, together with great sensitivity. Theirs is a probing performance of the Britten, highlighting its debt to Shostakovich and Prokofiev...Two exciting talents who deserve a serious international profile.

November 2010

Moser plays with a full, dark tone that fits the Romantic flow of the Bridge Sonata well, and he and Paul Rivinius capture its brooding intensity and lyrical flights...They are responsive to the rapidly changing moods and quirky, sometimes humorous, sometimes savage interjections of Britten's five-movement work.
