Overview
This exquisite album presents Sonia Wieder-Atherton on cello and David Oei on piano performing the complete works for cello and piano by Robert Schumann, alongside Edvard Grieg's Cello Sonata, Op. 36.
Schumann's works, full of emotion and character, are represented through "Fantasiestücke, Op. 73", the lyrical "Adagio and Allegro, Op. 70", and the playful "Stücke im Volkston, Op. 102". These pieces are showcased with sensitivity and depth, capturing the intimate conversation between the cello and piano.
The Grieg Sonata, a stunningly lyrical work, concludes the album, filled with Nordic charm and rich textures. The interplay between Wieder-Atherton's expressive cello and Oei's dynamic piano playing makes for an engaging performance that brings out the emotional depth of each composition.
