All three works in this collection of sonatas were inspired by the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. There is a remarkable affinity and musical rapport between the cellist and pianist – they bring to this recording fresh ideas and the brilliance of their talent.
Jamie Walton – Cello
Daniel Grimwood – Piano
“Walton and Grimwood strike to the very heart of the music’s character. With a fusion of musicality, virtuosity and sensibility, these are outstanding performances”.
Geoffrey Norris, Daily Telegraph
