Digital Booklet

|||||
“These recordings make an excellent contrast to the sweeping Romanticism of Rostropovich and Richter. Fournier plays with elegance, Gulda with probing thoughtfulness.”
– BBC Music Magazine
“No living cellist has eclipsed Pierre Fournier’s Beethoven cycle with Friedrich Gulda.”
– Fanfare
One of Pierre Fournier's great recordings - arguably the best recording of the Beethoven "Complete Cello works" - that will form part of our Fournier 100 celebrations (the anniversary of his birth falls on 24 June). The recordings were made when Fournier was at his technical peak, and partnered by the keenly-insightful Friedrich Gulda.
