Schubert: Arpeggione, Sonatina, Trio Op. 99

Coppey, Marc;
Gringolts, Ilya

AECD 1095

Paradoxically, Schubert s best-known work for cello is the Arpeggione Sonata. A central work in our repertoire, and one of the most difficult, it naturally has its place here. I chose to transcribe the Sonatina No. 1 in D major for, even though written for the violin, it is no less adapted to the cello than the Arpeggione . Moreover, on the instrumental level, it is not so remote from the Trio No. 1. In its bright key of D major, the Sonatina is a joyful work. This programme thus offers us a fairly happy visage of the composer. In any case, it is not the most tortured Schubert. The Trio in B flat is a brilliant work that leaves much room for heroism, with extraordinary rhythmic energy and vivace. A Schubert who, also, gives opportunities for virtuosity and instrumental pleasure." Marc Coppey
