Beethoven Complete Cello Sonatas

Description

Beethoven's works for violoncello and piano are among
the first of this genre. Where previously the piano
dominated or merely accompanied, now two equal
partners appear, complimenting each other in
brilliance and virtuosity. The three cello sonatas, which
come from different creative periods of Beethoven,
allow insights into the development of the celebrated
composer. Ludwig Hoelscher and Jörg Demus, two of
the most famous and influential musicians of the last
century, dedicated themselves to this multifaceted
work in 1972. The resulting recordings express the two
master instrumentalists' in-depth study of these works,
while offering an intimate experience of chamber
music performance. The recordings included in these
CDs stood the test of time. The original records,
released in 1974, are highly prized by connoisseurs and
collectors. These recordings have been lovingly
remastered and are now, for the first time, available in
digital form. The remaster enables a crystal-clear
listening experience of the masterful interpretations
without losing their historic character.
