Description:

Listen to two austere cello sonatas performed by two talented musicians: Masaru Kosuge, a Berlin-based pianist active worldwide, and Benedikt Kleckner, a young German cellist beloved by great conductors Simon Rattle and Daniel Barenboim. Benedikt Kreckner, a young German cellist beloved by great conductors such as Simon Rattle and Daniel Barenboim, takes his time in these two Brahms cello sonatas, which are full of rich flavor. The first, composed when Brahms was in his early thirties, gives the listener a chilling impression, while the second, written twenty-one years later, in the late stages of his creative career, after he had also finished the Fourth Symphony, is bright and masculine. Kosuge and Kleckner sing these two pieces, which were composed at different times and in different personalities, slowly and tenderly, as if they were loving the world of these works.
