Album Details:
One of Pierre Fournier's Great Recordings - Arguably the Best Recording of the Beethoven Complete Cello Works - that Will Form Part of Our Fournier 100 Celebrations (The Anniversary of his Birth Falls on 24 June this Year). The Recordings were Made When Fournier was at his Technical Peak, and Partnered by the Keenly-insightful Friedrich Gulda. The CD Booklet Includes a Fascinating Memoir by the Son of Pierre Fournier - Jean Fonda - on 'Fournier and Fritz [gulda]', plus a Couple of Delightful Fifties Photos !

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The perfect reunion.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Some of Beethoven's best
The cello sonatas span Beethoven's entire career. The first two are "early", the third one "middle period", and the last two "late". They range from tuneful to abstract, but all are studded with luscious melody. I find it impossible to choose between this Fournier recording and the later one with Kempff. The sound here is crystal-clear, and the spirit of Beethoven hovers over the proceedings. Gulda points up the structure, Fournier provides the lyricism, and the music takes flight. Note that ...
