Quirine Viersen and Enrico Pace
Rachmaninov's 'Cello Sonata', Schumann's '5 Stücke im Volkston' and Beethoven's last 'Cello Sonata' are pieces for compositions in which cello and piano are equivalent instruments. Quirine Viersen and Enrico Pace give the best of themselves in these masterpieces and offer overwhelming musical vistas
Quirine Viersen about the music:
"I got to know Rachmaninov's Cello Sonata through his four piano concertos and became very dear to me. There's always a hint of secrecy about that man. His music seems balanced at first sight, but each of his piano concertos is unique and in itself incredibly extreme, just like the Cello Sonata by the way"
(Read the interview with Quirine Viersen.)
Late cello music by Beethoven and Schumann
To be able to compose convincingly for cello you have to come from a good home. Beethoven and Schumann had already gained a lot of experience before they started their last cello works. Beethoven was one of the first after Bach to write serious solo works for the cello. All his imagination he stopped his last cello sonata; just listen to the moving middle section. Also for Schumann the '5 Stücke im Volkston' were the last pieces he composed for 'his' cello. As pianist and cellist he knew better than anyone how to combine both instruments.
Rachmaninov's Cellosonate
Rachmaninov had told me his Cello Sonata everything he had to say in the field of chamber music. He wouldn't write chamber music anymore. Critics and music lovers still regard Rachmaninov's Cello Sonata as one of the most important cello sonatas of the entire twentieth century. Fans of Rachmaninov's 'Second Piano Concerto' will enjoy this Cello Sonata, because the slow movement in particular is reminiscent of Rachmaninov's most famous piece
