Overview
Steven Isserlis and Kirill Gerstein build their beguiling programme around Brahms’s two cello sonatas, the first directly inspired by Bach’s The Art of Fugue, the second striking in its terse thematic development.
They also include the rarely heard yet exquisite Adagio by Clara Schumann’s half-brother, Woldemar Bargiel, and works by Dvorák and Zemlinsky, two composers supported and encouraged by Brahms.
