Schumann: Music for Cello and Piano

NAXOS 8.572375

Karine Georgian - cello, Jan Willem Nelleke - piano
Robert Schumann: Adagio and Allegro op. 70, Fantasy Pieces op. 73, Violin Sonata op. 105 (arr. J.W. Nelleke), Märchenbilder op. 113, 3 Romances op. 94. Clara Schumann: 3 Romances op. 22 (arr. J.W. Nelleke).

Georgian’s peanut butter-smooth tone is a perfect counterpoint for Nelleke’s rolling-agitated piano as they explore Robert’s Romanzen Op 94 and Clara’s Romanzen Op 22.
Muso Magazine
.. Georgian and Nelleke play both with such ardour and full-toned commitment that the music seems thoroughly idiomatic.
The Guardian
.. these musicians make a good case for the present arrangements. This is a collection of beautiful music.
American Record Guide
I was taken aback by how much I enjoyed this disc.
