This highly recommendable CD has at its heart excellent performances of Mendelssohn’s two sonatas for cello and piano. The other works he wrote for the same combination of instruments – the early ‘Variations concertantes’, ‘Assai tranquillo’ and the Opus 109 Lied ohne worte – are added. So too are three transcriptions from the Opus 19a set of Liedern ohne Worte, made by the great cellist and competent composer, Alfred Piatti, who worked with Mendelssohn in London and played the second cello sonata with the composer in London in 1845. This CD should appeal to completists and to those of us who simply love high quality chamber music well performed and well recorded. / Glyn Pursglove at www.musicweb-international.com
