BRAHMS: CELLO SONATAS - KARINE GEORGIAN, PAVEL GILILOV

Brahms: Cello Sonatas
including (exc) Cello Sonata Op.78 (trans)

Karine Georgian
(cello)
Pavel Gililov
(piano)

“Neither Georgian, a pupil of Rostropovich, nor Gililov had come my way before but I hope such persuasive musicians will soon do so again. Their sympathy for Brahms struck me as of the unforced, intuitively perceptive kind. The two cello sonatas are keenly contrasted: (Op.99) Adagio is played with a totally committed intensity by both and the songful finale has an endearing spring-like freshness” (Gramophone)
