Opis

Beethoven: Complete Works For Cello & PianoOpis:Product Description Act III of François-Frédéric Guy's Beethoven Project. On the programme: Beethoven's complete music for cello and piano with cellist Xavier Phillips, recorded by Nicolas Bartholomée at the Arsenal in Metz. In 2008 Guy embarked on a major Beethoven project that has included recording and performing in concert all 32 Beethoven Sonatas and the 5 Piano Concertos. Guy is a dedicated chamber musician and he regularly performs Beethoven s chamber music for strings and piano as well, with Tedi Papavrami and Xavier Phillips. As part of the Beethoven project, Guy has performed the complete cycle of 32 Sonatas in Washington, Paris, Monaco and recently at the Festival Berlioz in La Côte-Saint-André (August 2013). Born in Paris, Xavier Phillips started playing the cello at the age of 6. His encounter with Mstislav Rostropovitch proved especially fruitful since it marked the beginning of a long collaboration during which Xavier Phillips received the guidance and encouragement of the master cellist. His eclectic and varied discography has been warmly welcomed by the critics. His last recording dedicated to Dutilleux 'Tout un monde lointain' received tremendous reviews and was nominated three times for the Grammy Awards 2015. Xavier Phillips plays on a Matteo Gofriller cello from 1710.

Review GRAMOPHONE RECORDING OF THE MONTH 'well matched in intellect, musicianship and temperament ... Philips and Guy conjure up the sound of a genre being formed before your very ears. Compelling too is their reactivity, Guy never stealing the limelight from Philips, though it would be easy to do so, particularly in the first two sonatas, in which the piano s role is more overtly brilliant ... It s a recording that brings this sublime music into your living room in the most natural manner possible, and I can t wait for Vol 4 of the series. Terrific!' --Harriet Smith Gramophone, January 2016Performance: ***** Recording: **** 'These are really fine, dynamic accounts, with virtuosity appropriately to the fore.' --Misha Donat BBC Music Magazine, February 2016MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE MONTH 'this recording from Xavier Phillips and François-Frédéric Guy is one of the most admirable I know in this repertoire. The sound is nicely transparent and full of colour, especially in the detail of the marginally more forward cello sound.' --Dominy Clements - MusicWeb International, February 2016Autor:Xavier PhilipsNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: Data wydania: 2015Waga: 0.27 gramWysokość: 0.5 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.5 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
