Truls M\u00f8rk and Leif Ove Andsnes<\/p>\n
The cello appealed to the 19th centuries romantic sensibilities; its sonorous melody and melancholy pathos expressed the essence of the romantic spirit. However, composing music for the solo-cello was still only of peripheral interest to the greater 19th century composers, partly because of their ignorance of the instruments capabilities. This led composers to seek the player\u00b4s help. Dedicated to the celebrated cellist August Franchomme, the Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin\u00b4s \u201cSonata for cello and piano\u201d is a scarcity in the oeuvre of the composer, consisting mostly of piano music. Here, the cello is given the same rich, dark expression that Chopin used for the left-hand melodies on the piano. <\/p>\n
Unlike Chopin, Robert Schumann composed a great deal of chamber music. On this recording we hear some of Schumann\u00b4s own cello transcriptions, the \u201cPhantasiest\u00fccke\u201d and \u201cAdagio und allegro\u201d, in addition to the beautifully constructed miniatures of the five \u201cSt\u00fccke im Volkston\u201d. Performed by the outstanding cellist Truls M\u00f8rk and probably Norway\u00b4s most renowned and prominent pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, this album is a celebration of the beauty in the Romantic-era music for cello.<\/p>\n
