Cello Sonatas (Nos. 1-5)
Ludwig van Beethoven
Cello, Piano
Pierre Fournier, Friedrich Gulda
1959Gil's first recommendation. A real partnership. Fournier has a very polished style with a beautiful tone and wonderful artistic judgment, and Gulda offers his own insights as a wonderful Beethoven player.
Pablo Casals, Mieczyslaw Horszowski
1930s Historic recordings.A historic version. Despite the primitive sound, you're going to want to hear Casals for his interpretive insights, drama, passion, and musical imagination.
