In the spring of 2019, Christoph Croisé scored a breakthrough with his critically acclaimed recording of Haydn’s Cello Concertos. With pianist Alexander Panfilov, he turns his attention to two towering 20th-century masterpieces: the cello sonatas by Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich. Croisé also offers his own transcriptions of the March from Prokofiev’s opera The Love for Three Oranges and Shchedrin’s flamboyant In the Style of Albéniz, and a bonus track by the Swiss cellist and composer Thomas Demenga – New York Honk.
