Brahms (1833-1897)

Description:

Doppelgänger Concerto with the Queen of Violin and Up-and-Coming CellistAnne-Sophie Mutter, the Queen of Violin, and Pablo Ferrández, an emerging cello artist from Spain, collaborate for the first time on this album. Mutter discovered Ferrández's extraordinary talent early on, praised him as "truly special," and invited him to perform with her in the 2018 "Mutter's Virtuosi" cycle. Finally, they have been able to perform together on a recording. The pieces are Brahms' Double Concerto and Clara Schumann's Piano Trio. The Brahms piece is Mutter's first recording with the Berlin Philharmonic since 1983, and the Clara piece is the first recording by a major artist. Mutter is an exclusive artist for Deutsche Grammophon, a prestigious classical music label, and it is highly unusual for him to record for another company. It is a sign of how much he appreciates Ferrandes. The two performers, who have a deep friendship like that of Clara and Brahms, express the charm of the works with great technical skill and musicality. Sony Music
