Cello Sonata in G Minor, Op. 19

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Gautier Capuçon & Yuja Wang

Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 19 is a cello sonata by Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed in 1901. The work is rooted in late-Romantic harmonic language, combining expansive, song-like melodies with technically demanding writing for both cello and piano and forming an important part of Rachmaninoff's early chamber music output that illustrates his lyrical melodic gift and dense chromatic textures.
