Prokofiev: Cellos Sonata, Sinfonia Concertante
Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: HMM902608 Format: CD Bruno Philippe (cello), Tanguy de Williencourt (piano), Hessischer Rundfunks Sinfonieorchester, Christoph EschenbachThese exceptionally beautiful reappraisals are likely to divide listeners. Bruno Philippe’s command of the instrument can scarcely be gainsaid – his tone is simply glorious – but prizing lyricism and restraint over drama in late Prokofiev is not without risks...There’s Mendelssohnian delicacy and poise in the coupling too, regular collaborator Tanguy de Williencourt offering tactful rather than clangorous support.
