Hope Amid Tears - Beethoven: Cello Sonatas

Hope Amid Tears - Beethoven: Cello Sonatas

Awards:

The readings have a lived-in quality: lively, warm, articulate, spacious and deeply felt on the plus side, a little frayed around the edges and tending towards the baggy on the other.

Ma brings boldness and individuality to every note, using slides between notes as needed; the attack vigorous, the lyricism poetic. Ax is the perfect partner, as heartfelt and eloquent as he is witty. A set to treasure.
