Brahms: Two Cello Sonatas

Geoffroy Couteau continues to serve the work of Brahms, here in the company of cellist Raphaël Perraud, with the fervor we have known him since his complete works for piano published in Spring 2016. The two sonatas for cello and piano constitute pages of prime importance in Brahms's corpus. Powerfully lyrical, a realm of pure

interiority, they provide a glimpse of his youthful period as well as that of his great maturity, close to his fourth and final symphony. Summits of chamber music, these

Sonatas of a protean humanity demand from their interpreters as much complementarity as osmosis.
