Digital Booklet

"Isn’t it nice to know that performances by (Weilerstein) and Barnatan need not live only in one’s memory?"
- The Philadelphia Inquirer
"... (the duo play) with a dazzling technique and a level of communication and expression so clear that they can practically finish each other’s phrases ..."
- Boston Classical Review
"... Chopin’s Sonata for Cello and Piano (is) a work of such fiendish difficulty that even Chopin was convinced that parts of it might be unplayable. Weilerstein and Barnatan put that notion to rest with their poise and passion ..."
- The New York Times
This album of monumental cello sonatas by Chopin and Rachmaninov marks the debut recording from Israeli pianist Inon Barnatan and his longtime exclusive recital partner, cellist Alisa Weilerstein. The two sonatas spotlighted here, explored by the pair in concert for years, are also accompanied by shorter works by each composer.
"Playing in a duo context with Inon is rewarding because we think in similar terms, we have a unique connection. We respond to each other in an instinctive way, without having to talk about it."
- Alisa Weilerstein
