| |  | Gregor Piatigorsky
Gregor Piatigorsky (cello) These sonatas were all written for excellent cellists.
Mendelssohn had his brother Paul in mind for his D
major Sonata, although he dedicated it to the Russian
amateur player and music patron Prince Mateusz
Wielhorski. Piatigorsky’s freewheeling interpretation is
reminiscent of Feuermann’s: he did not know that
master’s recording, which was still unpublished at the
time, but he may well have heard Feuermann play the
work. Chopin’s G minor Sonata – one of his few chamber
works and his last large-scale creation – was composed
for a friend, the cello virtuoso Auguste Franchomme, with
whom he gave the première in 1847. It cost Chopin an
immense amount of effort, none of which shows in the
finished piece. Richard Strauss’s Sonata in F major is a
youthful work, dating from 1883, but the Czech cellist
Hanus? Wihan, for whom Dvor?ák wrote several
masterpieces, accepted the dedication and gave the first
performance with the composer. This work needs the firm
shaping it gets from the performers here. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
