Beethoven: Complete Works for Cello and Piano

by Ildikó Szabó, István Lajkó

The works for cello and piano are the most exquisite, emblematic pieces of the master's chamber music oeuvre. On our recording refreshingly light variations on the themes of The Magic Flute and of Judas Maccabaeus are played between the five weighty sonatas.

"...to me, Beethoven is not just about freedom, equality, fraternity. He is not only the inventor of the cello sonata as a genre. But he is a teacher of unconditional love. Humor. And humanity.” (Ildikó Szabó)
