Kraft / Rudin / Martirosian- Works for 2 Cellos (CD)
The emergence of the cello as a solo instrument at the beginning of the 19th century encouraged composers to explore it's melodic and sonorous potential, with compositions for two or more cellos becoming increasingly popular. Bernhard Romberg and Anton Kraft both had personal connections to Beethoven - their works offer inventive timbres, intimacy and substantial virtuosity. The world premiere recording of the sparkling Concertino by Kraft's son Nikolaus completes an album of unique gems, influenced by Beethoven and Haydn, which helped to usher in the golden age of the cello.
