The Cello Sonatas

Album by Johannes Brahms & Daniel Müller‐Schott & Francesco Piemontesi

The Cello Sonatas are two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1865 and 1886. They exemplify Romantic chamber music, featuring lyrical, song-like cello lines set against rich, often pianistic textures and contrapuntal interplay, and they occupy a key place in Brahms's chamber output as works that bridge his early and mature compositional phases.
First released: 7th August 2020
