Ludwig van Beethoven: Complete Works for Cello and Piano

Ludwig van Beethoven: Complete Works for Cello and Piano

Price range: 20,00 $ through 38,00 $

Erling Blöndal Bengtsson
When at the age of three Erling Blöndal Bengtsson was given a violin by his father, his immediate instinct was to position it between his knees. However much his father protested, he could not be persuaded to hold it under his chin. The boy was adamant, and just six months later he gave his first public recital, on a viola with an end-pin attached to it. Seven years later he was allowed to make his debut with an orchestra in Copenhagen’s Tivoli Concert Hall where, in the summer of 1992, Erling Blöndal Bengtsson was celebrated on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. the fifthieth anniversary of his debut, and as the greatest living Danish cellist – il not one of the finest anywhere, with his bright slender tone, at once elegantly nimble and glowing with concentration and pained recognition.
“The born cellist” is no hackneyed clichĂ© when applied to Blöndal Bengtsson. He found it all so easy that he could make do with one hour’s practice a day as a child – and indeed no more was asked of him by his violinist father and exceptionally musical mother, an Icelandic woman straight out of the ancient sagas.

Beethoven’s Cello Sonatas ©
The cello sonata with piano accompaniment  is a relatively recent phenomen in the history of music. It is true that innumerable cello sonatas were composed during the baroque period, but they were sonatas with figured bass accompaniment rather than duo works as such. Vivaldi, for one, has a number to his credit. Consequently, Ludwig van Beethoven’s (1770-1827) cello sonatas, as the first actual duo works for the cello and a keyboard instrument, are of considerable historical importance besides being wonderful pieces in themselves.
