Modern sonatas for cello and piano
Posted by: stephenjohn on 08 February 2004
Dear All
I've been trying to establish a collection of C20th abd C21st chamber music.
Cello sonatas with piano that I have enjoyed very much are:
Kodaly
Macmillan
Schnitke No1
Carter
Others I enjoy less are:
Shostakovich
Prokofiev
Can anyone make recommendations of others that I might try?
best wishes
Steve

yes, you're right. I forgot to mention the Britten. I have a recording with Britten and Rostopovich which I have enjoyed but I forgot about yesterday.
I think I may have the Martinu too. Thanks Nick

I checked, I have vol 1, which has 3 sonatas on it. I've not played it for a while, I'll listen again, I don't remember being caught by it last time.
Boulez, Ferneyhough, Xenakis, sound interesting, I'll check them out. Thanks David

stephenjohn,
Related to a previous thread, the complete Elizabeth Maconchy quartets have just been rereleased on Regis (3CDs for less than £5 each). I've ordered my copy.

I haven't heard this particular record, but I love Hindemith and I've heard good things about cellist Wendy Warner.

Hi David
yes I have a copy of the Maconchy SQs, I'm working my way through slowly. I'm not yet sure that I have discovered their depths. Getting 13 SOs in one go takes me a lot of getting used to. I like owning them though because it feels like an interesting location that I can go and visit and explore any time I want.
Fred is the Hindmith early or late? I find his earlier work more appealing, he seemed to knock his own edges off as he got older
