Schumann: Fünf Stücke im Volkston/ Debussy: Sonata for Cello and Piano - Mstislav Rostropovich and Benjamin Britten
In the hands of masters these 5 pieces in folk style have a rare charm, particularly the last with its irregular rhythm. This is an excellent recording. Britten's five-movement work was written specially for Rostropovich, it is unlike anything Britten wrote previously. The idiom itself is unexpected. However, although it demands fantastic feats from the cellist, it is hardly a display piece. Each of the five movements is poised and concentrated. It is an excellent work to wrestle with on a record, particularly when the performance is never likely to be outshone. The recording is superb in every way. Debussy's Cello Sonata was the first of a planned cycle of six sonatas for different instruments, written, so Debussy emphasized, by a musician francais. The writing for the instruments is brilliant. Britten and Rostropovich bring a clarity and point which suit it perfectly. The recording is excellent.
