Robert Irvine (cello) / Graeme McNaught (piano)

Beethoven: Sonata in A, Op.69
Britten: Sonata in C, Op.65
Rachmaninov: Vocalise
Shostakovich: Sonata in D minor, Op.40

Three superb 'cello sonatas by masters of classical form, including Britten's epigrammatic, only work for the genre and Shostakovich's at once biting and lyrical sonata, his earliest chamber work of note; Beethoven's middle-period masterpiece and the well-known song-without-words by Rachmaninov complete this dynamic programme. This popular Scottish duo has recently recorded Shostakovich and Rachmaninov for the Delphian label.
