These pages of chamber music, some of the finest chamber music ever written, bring in the cello as equal partner to the piano. Bravissimo!!!The fact that these works were composed at three different periods provides us with an insight into Beethoven;s development as a person and composer. They differ greatly from each other, revealing great variety in the composer's writing. The richness of expression, the depth of feeling, the wealth of musical ideas, all allow for the performer to bring out something personal in his interpretations.Beethoven wrote in his letters that whoever immersed himself in his music would be elevated to a place beyond suffering. Aaron and I hope that our interpretations will transport you, the listener, beyond daily cares to a place of esthetic pleasure. Emanuel EROICA JDT 3227 Back in 2000 Harry Downey wrote in his review of the Harrell/Ashkenazy recording of the five numbered sonatas (Decca 466 733-2) that reissues were the order of the day. Since then weâ€™ve had a regular stream of new recordings of these works: Adrian and Alfred Brendel on Philips 475 379-2 and MiklÃ³s PerÃ©nyi and AndrÃ¡s Schiff on ECM New Series 4724012 both of which Iâ€™ve heard. There have been others including Pieter Wispelwey/Dejan LaziÄ‡ which I havenâ€™t encountered but would like to! Beside these new goodies we must set famous versions from Casals/Serkin; Du PrÃ©/Barenboim; Rostrapovich/Richter; the list is extensive. They happen to fit well on two CDs if the wonderful variations are included. These recordings by a duo previously unknown to me were made in 2001 and have only just been released. So how does this new set compare. Pretty well Iâ€™d say on the basis that a definitive version is impossible. This set takes them the five sonatas out of sequence; which is fine. I love these pieces but I would suggest that you do not play the two discs straight off. Treat them singly and savour their differing delights. The first disc has one Op. 5 dating from 1796 and No. 4 from thirty years later. I thought both were splendid and I was immediately struck by the rapport between the two players. The sound is first rate and captures their instruments very effectively. The second movement of the first sonata reminds me mischievously of "Black Adder" but whatever, this is good musicianship. The second half of CD1 is given over to the three sets of variations. These are not always recorded; sadly for me Askenazy/Harrell in their otherwise fine rendition leave them out. What an omission; to me they are a highpoint among Beethovenâ€™s works. In particular the Handel variations are terrific. Here they are played with much vigour and aplomb. On CD 2 the duo starts with another early work Op. 5 No. 2. I was absolutely captivated by their fine playing. At no stage did I feel one player was dominating or being over-reverential. They played as a partnership and clearly love these works. As Iâ€™m sure many are aware these works were written as piano and cello pieces; the piano is equally important. The A Major Sonata, Op. 69 is from 1807/8 when Beethoven was writing his ...
