Beethoven Recomposed
Label: NCL Catalog: 8579081 Format: COMPACT DISC LaiPang, Miclen; LGT Young Soloists; Gilman, Alexander; Coetzee, LukaTo mark the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, Russian born arranger Paul Struck has arranged two of the composer’s great mid-period chamber masterpieces for soloist and string ensemble. Expanding the sonorities of the ‘Kreutzer’ Sonata – Beethoven’s most important chamber work for violin – allows the sonata’s concertante quality to emerge in a new light. The Cello Sonata No. 3 equally succeeds in conceiving the piano part for ensemble, while exploring fullness of sound and maintaining transparency of texture. Price: $19.98 |
