Sonata for Cello & Piano op. 19 / Vocalise op. 34 no. 14

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Lynn Harrell & Vladimir Ashkenazy

Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 19 and Vocalise, Op. 34 No. 14 are compositions by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1901 and 1915 respectively. Both works exemplify Rachmaninov's late‑Romantic idiom, featuring sweeping lyrical lines, rich chromatic harmonies and a balance of virtuosic and intimate writing that reflects his movement from pianistic brilliance toward a more song‑like, expressive manner.
First released: 1986
