COMPOSERS: Carter,Rachmaninoff,Schnittke
LABELS: Intim Musik
WORKS: Cello Sonatas
PERFORMER: Louise Hopkins (cello), Aleksander Madzar (piano)
CATALOGUE NO: IMCD 062 (distr. intimmusik@swipnet.se)
In this intriguing and ambitious programme, Hopkins and Madzar offer a competent, if unremarkable account of Rachmaninoff’s great Sonata, but prove less accomplished in the Schnittke and Carter works. The recording offers lively and wide-ranging sonics which seem effectively balanced. Michael Jameson
