A delightful programme of Early‐Romantic cello sonatas by Ries, Moscheles and Hummel.
Ferdinand Ries, Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Nepomuk Hummel were contemporaries, active in a period of transition from Classical to Romantic style, all three strongly influenced by the musical giant Ludwig van Beethoven, virtuoso pianists and all three "Minor Masters". Their cello sonatas follow classical style principles, spiced with interruptions of romantic outpouring of drama and emotions: highly enjoyable!
Played on period instruments by cellist Marco Testori and Costantino
Mastroprimiano, playing an early 19th century fortepiano.
Moscheles: Grande Sonate Concertante Op.34
Ries: Grande Sonate in G minor Op.125
Hummel: Grande Sonate in A Op.104
