Release Title: Complete Piano & Violoncello Artist: Beethoven / Lonquich / Altstaedt Genre: Classical Artists Notes: Beethoven's output for cello and piano is fascinating because it covers every period of his career, from early to late, with references to Bach in op.69 and op.102 no.2 and an especially innovative and amazingly modern musical language. For this complete set, which includes the variations on themes from Handel's Judas Maccabaeus and Mozart's Die Zauberflote, Nicolas Altstaedt was keen to record on an instrument with gut strings, a Guadagnini from Piacenza dated 1749, and using a Classical bow. Alexander Lonquich, his faithful recital partner - they been inseparable companions since the day Altstaedt replaced his teacher Boris Pergamenschikow at the last minute for a concert of Beethoven sonatas with Lonquich at the Beethovenfest in Bonn in 2004 - here plays a Graf fortepiano of 1826. The combination of these instruments produces a finely balanced sound and exceptional tone colors. This recording is Nicolas Altstaedt's first for Alpha as a soloist. Others will follow, in very different genres, for eclecticism is the hallmark of this musician, among the most promising of the new generation. gtin13: 3760014195778 Record Label: Allp, Alpha Item Length: 5.44 in Format: CD UPC: 3760014195778 Item Weight: 0.27 lb Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Item Width: 5.00 in Item Height: 0.63 in Release Year: 2020 brand: Allp Number of Discs: 2
