Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr Do we know that this work, which remains very popular, was in fact a kind of " spotlight "?! Johan Georg Staufer commissioned it from Schubert to promote the new instrument he had developed, the arpeggione, a kind of cello-guitar. The arpeggione disappeared, the Sonata remained. Its charm, its melancholy character without heaviness, this spirit of instrumental song has touched all audiences - both in its most frequent transcription, and the one closest to the original, for cello and piano, and in other pairings (clarinet and piano, viola and piano, flute and piano, double bass and piano...). The recording made by Mstislav Rostropovitch with the composer Benjamin Britten, who was also an excellent pianist, is a discreetly nostalgic gem of elegance where the two instruments dialogue like two friends, in a harmony of sonorities that allows each one to blossom at its best, from the supple piano, full of nuances, to the cello that delivers its intimate singing with a modest restraint. And what a sound! An unmixed pleasure.

This is the kind of recordings that can change a life.

Unbelievable chamber music playing and musicianship. This is why the renowned accompanist Gerald Moore called Britten the greatest accompanist in the world. Thanks for this wonderful new remastering. A treasure.

Slava did not know the work before Britten urged him to learn it for the Aldeburgh festival where they played it for the first time (this performance) ; then they recorded it in the Decca studios and he never played it again. He said after playing it with Ben he couldn't bear to play it with anyone else.

​@@saltburner2 и его можно понять. Великолепный, уникальный дуэт.

[@patrickhuser4755]

Rostropovich and Britten playing together! An event of the century!

[@vladimirtetsuwitz6532]

I think that most greatest recording of all arpegione sonata!

[@betelgeuseaml]

What a magnificent performance!

[@karensilver8853]

I've loved this piece since I first heard it decades ago and it's so nice to hear again. The performance is spectacular.

[@saltburner2]

I didn't care for it until I heard these two play it - now I adore it!

[@richardandaya3932]

Unbelievable, sound and interpretation. The goat of Cello play.

[@fredrussell5539]

What a delight. Thank you for sharing this gem.

I have played both the cello and the piano part to this piece. As opposed to the cello part, which is in parts of a hair-raising difficulty, the piano part appears to be very simple, but the challenge is to keep it from sounding like a "mere accompaniment". Britten succeeds here. That a minor commissioned work could be so beautiful is testament to the outstanding talents of the short-lived composer.

Eine ganz großartige Wiedergabe! Vielen herzlichen Dank, Ihnen allen ein recht angenehmes Wochenende und LG aus Montreal, Qc, Canada

아름다운 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎻🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤수고 많으셨습니다~☕

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne live Aufführung dieser romantischen und fein komponierten Sonate in verschiedenen Tempi mit tiefem doch gut phrasiertem Ton des unvergleichlichen Violoncellos und klar artikuliertem doch warmherzigem Klang des ebenso unvergleichlichen Klaviers. Der zweite Satz klingt echt schön und auch melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Alles ist wunderbar!

Вы никогда не называете имён. Это принципиально? С уважением к Вам, Марина.

Magistral Interpretación de los EXCEPCIONAlLES CONCERTISTAS , con un Magistral equilibrio sonoro .

[@republiccooper]

Benjamin Britten's pianism is notable. Thank you for this upload.

[@perfectblue8443]

In these rare moments where one is confronted with such beauty, you cannot help but wonder what you had been doing this time.

Its 'disk', CompactDisc is a trade name for countries like Italy who have no K in their alphabet.

[@voraciousreader3341]

I _do not like_ Rostropovich’s sound! It is scrapey (as in, scrape scrape scrape), and harsh, and inconsistent here! How can people not hear the constant change in tone as he bows?? I love Britten’s touch and his musicality is so lovely, but-I’m sorry to say-Rostropovich sounds like an amateur! I swear, I cannot be the only person to hear this!

[@HubertK28]

I agree. The studio recording, on the other hand, is far more balanced and an otherworldly beauty.

[@peterbaxter8151]

That’s probably to do with the mike placement.

[@republiccooper]

I find both incredibly musical but for some reason it is Britten who stands out above Rostropovich.i have heard this piece many times but never have I felt so compelled by the piano part.

[@Marinavalerevna]

​@@republiccooper да, фортепианная партия в исполнении Бриттена невероятно увлекательна. Мой слух настроен именно на неё.
