Listen to Barber, Schumann, Chopin
Marcy Rosen’s cello and Diane Walsh’s keys come together for these 3 in depth selections are fleshed out with incredible attention to detail.
Samuel Barber’s “Sonata in c minor, Op. 6” opens with bright keys and emotive cello interacting with much beauty and grace that can get quick and dynamic, but also retreat to calm.
In the middle, Robert Schumann’s “Fantasiestücke, Op. 73” radiates a profound intimacy via the colorful keys and striking strings, where the duo’s chemistry instills wonder and awe.
The last track, “Sonata in g minor, Op. 65”, by Frédéric Chopin, offers elegant and firm moments of meticulous piano and gripping cello that is executed flawlessly.
The pair exercise much skill and care surrounding these 3 masterpieces, where they put their own inimitable spin on the selections that will forever be timeless.
