Recorded at Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel, Hampstead, London 1996
Here is a rare coupling - the two great Romantic Cello Sonatas from the late 19th-century era of high-romanticism, joined on one CD, together with other music for cello and piano by Grieg and Rachmaninov.
The performances, by this highly-acclaimed young duo, are of exceptional passion and refinement, and the quality of the recording is one of the best Guild has achieved in recent years - which is saying a lot.
These two Sonatas - both of which were played in concert by Pablo Casals with their respective composers - have, in recent years, become to be recognised as high-points in the cello repertoire and have enjoyed a growing and enthusiastic audience for their inspired qualities.
They make a superb coupling, and in addition, we include some rare shorter music for cello and piano by both composers.
