Description
“My, this is attractive stuff!�
This is what the American Record Guide wrote about the world premiere recording of Friedrich Kiel’s complete works for violoncello.
These interpretations by Hans Zentgraf and Christoph Ullrich disappeared from the catalogue long ago, but both CDs are now reissued at a 2 for 1 special price.
The richly varied pieces by this Brahms contemporary, whom the Berliner Nationalzeitung numbered among the best of his times, sound as fresh as they did on the very first day.
Hans Zentgraf and Christoph Ullrich prove to be the ideal partners for Kiel’s richly coloured music. Trained at the renowned Juilliard School, Zentgraf knows how to tease out the finest nuances from his cello. The duo harmony generated by Zentgraf and Ullrich, who studied with the piano legend Leonard Hokanson and Rudolf Buchbinder, is only rarely encountered on concert stages.
