Rachmaninov:
Cello Sonata in G minor op.19 - Sonate pour violoncelle et piano
Vocalise op.34 no.14 arr. Leonard Rose 6.39

Shostakovich:
Viola Sonata op.147 arr. Daniil Shafran

‘The enchanting high point was Rachmaninov's Sonata, where the cellist’s tone carefully unfolded like a flower in the introduction, and then with vigorous articulation and a passionate singing tone shaped the rhapsodic drama of the work. There was a standing ovation in the packed Church of St Luke for this debut in Lucerne.’

(Neue Luzerner Zeitung/Lucerne Festival 2011)

‘Elschenbroich's sound had a burnished glow and radiated authority’
