Alban Gerhardt’s spiritually charged interpretations draw energy from his profound reflections on life and the nature of reality.

His duo partnership with Steven Osborne has delivered, among many fine things, insightful readings of Beethoven’s late cello sonatas and a recording of Schnittke’s First Cello Sonata that revels in the work’s imaginative treatment of the often tense, sometimes subtle dialogue between minor and major tonalities.
