Longtime collaborators cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianist Inon Barnatan present Brahms’s two Cello Sonatas, alongside their arrangement of his Violin Sonata in G Major on the cello. This Brahms portrait follows the duo’s recent acclaimed double album dedicated to Beethoven’s complete Cello Sonatas. While Beethoven’s sonatas reveal the gradual ascendancy of the cello as the proper solo instrument over the piano, Brahms opens a new chapter in the history of the cello sonata, realizing a glorious marriage of equals between the two instruments.

Tracklist

Johannes Brahms: Cello Sonata No. 1 in E minor, Op. 38
Johannes Brahms: Cello Sonata No. 2 in F, Op. 99
Johannes Brahms: Violin Sonata No. 1 in G, Op. 78
