Cello Sonatas

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Lynn Harrell & Bruno Canino

Cello Sonatas is a set of two sonatas for cello and piano by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1838 and 1843. They combine Classical forms and transparent textures with Romantic lyricism and expressive cello writing, reflecting Mendelssohn's mature chamber-music style and position in 19th-century musical development.
