The concert series "Cello Sonatas Through Romanticism" was imagined as a beautiful journey through three centuries of Romanticism, with different but complementary works ranging from the very end of the 18th century to our early 21st century. We started from the idea that musical Romanticism is a timeless state of mind, which goes well beyond the 19th century to which it is often confined and which has metamorphosed across countries and eras, always renewing itself but keeping its Romantic identity.
Just as the cello and the piano dialogue harmoniously in each of the five sonatas that make up our concert program, the sonatas respond to each other, forming a coherent whole and weaving the flamboyant backdrop of the evolution of Romanticism in classical music.
Our concert program is made up of five sonatas for cello and piano that are dear to our hearts and that we hold in great esteem, each wonderfully representing a different period and aesthetic of Romanticism:
1/5 Early Romanticism - Ludwig van Beethoven: "Cello Sonata N°2 in G minor", Op. 5 N°2 (1796)
2/5 Middle Romanticism - Felix Mendelssohn: "Cello Sonata N°2 in D major", Op. 58 (1843)
3/5 Late Romanticism - Sergei Rachmaninoff: "Cello Sonata in G minor", Op. 19 (1901)
4/5 Post-Romanticism - Claude Debussy: "Cello Sonata in D minor", L. 135 (1915)
5/5 Neo-Romanticism - Corentin Boissier: "Cello Sonata in B minor", Op. 21 (2017)
0:05
"Cello Sonata N°2", Op. 5 N°2, was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1796, while he was in Berlin. While there, Beethoven met the King of Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm II, an ardent music-lover and keen cellist. Although the sonata is dedicated to Friedrich Wilhelm II, Ferdinand Ries tells us that Beethoven "played several times at the court, where he also played the two cello sonatas, opus 5, composed for Duport (the King's first cellist) and himself". The Second Cello Sonata is in two movements:
1. Adagio sostenuto e espressivo - Allegro molto più tosto presto
2. Rondo : Allegro
22:58
Felix Mendelssohn's "Cello Sonata N°2 in D major", Op. 58, was composed from late 1842 to the first half of 1843 and was published in July 1843 by F. Kistner. The premiere took place on November 18, 1843 at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig by the cellist Karl Wittmann and the composer at the piano. The Cello Sonata, which was dedicated to the Russian-Polish cellist Count Mateusz Wielhorski, has four movements:
1. Allegro assai vivace
2. Allegretto scherzando
3. Adagio
4. Molto allegro e vivace
47:29
Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Sonata for Cello and Piano in G minor", Op. 19 was completed in November 1901 and published a year later. Rachmaninoff regarded the role of the piano as not just an accompaniment but equal to the cello. Most of the themes are introduced by the piano, while they are embellished and expanded in the cello's part. Rachmaninoff dedicated the work to Anatoliy Brandukov, who gave the first performance in Moscow, with the composer at the piano, on December 2, 1901. As typical of sonatas in the late romantic period, the work is cast in four movements:
1. Lento - Allegro moderato
2. Allegro scherzando
3. Andante
4. Allegro mosso
1:22:39
Claude Debussy's "Cello Sonata in D minor", L. 135, was composed and published in 1915. Debussy composed the sonata within a few weeks in July 1915 at the Normandy seaside town of Pourville. He wrote to his publisher Durand on 5 August that he would send the manuscript of what he described as a sonata in "almost classical form in the best sense of the word". It was printed in December 1915. After performances in London and Geneva in 1916, the sonata's official premiere in Paris was played in 1917 by Joseph Salmon and Debussy. It was the first chamber music work in Debussy's late style, and became one of the key works in the repertoire from the 20th century. Debussy structured the sonata in three movements:
1. Prologue : Lent, sostenuto e molto risoluto
2. Sérénade : Modérément animé
3. Finale : Animé, léger et nerveux
1:33:48
Corentin Boissier (born in 1995) is a French composer who himself describes his music as neo-romantic. His "Sonata for Cello and Piano", Op. 21, composed during the first half of 2017, is dedicated to the American cellist Eric Tinkerhess, who gave the premiere in Paris in December 2017 with the composer at the piano. Since then, it has been performed by many cellists such as Jordi Albelda, Magali Mouterde, Adrien Frasse-Sombet, Justine Péré, Tristan Bourget, and Marion Frère. The sonata is structured in three movements with a central scherzo:
1. Lento grave - Allegro non troppo
2. Scherzo : Presto con brio
3. Recitativo - Allegro moderato ma risoluto

    Somervell did not compose much music, but EVERY piece by him is a masterpiece realy. This symphony, his piano concerto, violin concerto and Normandy variations are profound pieces, full of vivid imagination and rich in inspiration. They should be recorded more. Especially, in this piece, the second movement shines. It shows off Somervell's gift for melody structure and orchestration. Just move to 18:47 to hear that melody from heaven with polyphonic like sound. and in 17:37 - what a grandiose sound of the orchestra, wow!

    If you can track down Score magazine published in the 1970's there is an article it one of them on the sketches held at Melbourne. In it the writer explains how they are so fragmentary that the sym could NEVER be completed. I think John Ireland was asked to complete it in the 50's and he likewise said the task was impossible. There was simply not enough material to reconstruct anything.

      If you know Moeran's Sinfonietta, then you will recognise one of the main themes replicated in this Symphony. The problem is there simply is not enough material to realise this work in the same way as Martin Yates' realisations of Cyril Scott's (early) Piano Concerto and Cello Concerto (this is worth the price of the disc alone!) and his orchestration of the Bax Symphony in F. It is very enjoyable, however.

    The Malta recording is excellent and in good modern sound, but in fairness to the Ulster Orchestra and Adrian Leaper it should be known that this performance is from a radio studio broadcast - I remember taking an off-air recording at the time and being disappointed by the quality of sound, more the fault of the engineers (or the acoustic) than the players, I suspect. For anyone interested in music of this genre I commend the various Cameo Classics CDs. See www.wyastone.co.uk/all-labels/cameo-classics.html for details. The Scott reference is interesting, in that 35 years later Somervell's grand-daughter, the novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard, married Peter Scott, son of Robert Falcon Scott! The slow movement of this symphony was often played on occasions of national mourning, notably at the laying to rest of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey in 1920.

    Writing in the Forum here at The Worldwide Moeran Database, Barry Marsh noted "Sadly there can be no 'realisation' or 'completion', whatever the word for it these days. 550 bars of music exists in short score, but after only 9 pages the sketches become disjointed with little or no fragments to point a further way. The MSS that is now in the Victorian College of Arts, Melbourne arrived there after a series of blunders and misfortunes...". And so it seems we will never hear the music which, for a while at least, so enthused and fired Jack and Lionel up all those years ago.

    Nice enough, but there really is not enough to make a performing version out of. The total length of the remaining score is about 90 bars, which takes about 3' 30" to play. The last 12 bars are Vivace (you'd never guess that from this piece, would you?). From this, Martin Yates has constructed a piece of 16' 38". That alone tells you how much added stuff there is. It would be so much better to here the unrecorded Suite for String Quartet, which also exists in a decent arrangement for small orchestra.

    This is the first time I am hearing this, and to my ears it sounds like pretty authentic Moeran. The handling of the strings is immediately reminiscent of passages in the G-minor symphony. If the effort needed to complete these sketches was relatively minimal, then most of what we're hearing is Moeran himself. My God, what a find!

      It certainly has the signature of Moeran all over it. This is my first hearing too. And, yes "What a find!"

    A great "maritime" symphony with beautiful themes. Far enough from his first "Symphony in G minor" (1937), very pastoral. More similar to Frederic Austin's "Symphony in E major" (1913), "The Sea Adventurers Overture" (1935) or these beautiful soundtracks of films of 40's. Excellent work and perfect performance of Martin Yates. Thank you Mario for this gift. Corentin Boissier (collectionCB, collectionCB2, collectionCB3 & collectionCB4)

    Somewhere between Hamilton Harty and the best of Arnold Bax. Do not forget to listen to his masterpiece : "A Shropshire Lad", version for orchestra (1915). Corentin Boissier (collectionCB, collectionCB2, collectionCB3 & collectionCB4)

    yea i did some research. He did kind of sketch most of it out and then yea Yates mainly finished the orchestration and the few pieces that were missing He didn't know how he was going to structure it so I think it was John Ireland ( his teacher)who advised him to make it into one long movement . looking forward to listening to it another 20 times or so,

      rphcomposer The advanced sketches left by E. J. Moeran have been completed by conductor Martin Yates, as it's indicated in the text. To my knowledge, there's no link with John Ireland.
