The Cello Sonatas

Album by Johannes Brahms & Mstislav Rostropovich & Rudolf Serkin

The Cello Sonatas are two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms, composed in 1862 and 1886. Firmly rooted in Romantic chamber music, they feature rich harmonic language, lyrical cello writing and substantial piano parts that reflect Brahms's development from his early to his mature compositional style and occupy a central place in the chamber repertoire.
