Following on the critical and popular success of the previous two volumes of Johannes Moser’s “Brahms and his Contemporaries” series SWR music/hänssler CLASSIC is proud to present the latest entry. The current program features a selection of wonderfully crated rarities and surprises. From Martucci’s lyrical (and sadly neglected Cello Sonata), to a set of charming Brahms song arrangements to a set of charming and perfectly crafted miniatures by piano virtuoso and gambling addict, Theodore Kirchner, this program is a winner!
Johannes Moser continues to tour around the world, performing with many outstanding orchestras and famous conductors. His playing is renown not only for ist expressive intensity but intelligent phrasing and always persuasive selection of repertoire. He has been universally acclaimed as one of the top cellists of his generation.
