[CD-Audition notes]
The Cello Sonata takes an orthodox approach while valuing a lyrical singing voice. Even in the second movement with a somewhat fast tempo setting, it plays the repetition of a persistent sound form deeply without spinning. The cello version of the Viola Sonata is also a well-received performance.
[CD-Commentary]
The クニャーゼフ Shostakovich overcame the two tragedies of illness and accidents that caused a stir with Bach's unaccompanied Kumikyoku (Werner). The somewhat dark sound matches the work beautifully. The Viola Sonata arranged by himself is also superb.
