Cellist Johannes Moser and pianist Andrei Korobeinikov present Bohuslav Martinů’s complete cello sonatas. These works belong to the most significant twentieth- century repertoire for cello and piano. Reflecting Martinů’s troubled existence, defined by wartime, emigration, longing for the homeland, yet also full of hope and life-affirming energy, the music seems entirely topical in our own troubled times. After their award- winning recording of works by Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff from 2016, Moser and Korobeinikov demonstrate their congeniality once more, fully realizing the extreme interdependence of cello and piano in these Reviews The recording provides a fine balance between the instruments and as a whole these performances bring together affection and brilliance in persuasive readings that stand high in a strong field. — BBC Music Magazine, Christmas Issue 2022, 5 out of 5 stars Fanfare Sep/Oct 2023 “Moser’s cello tone is superb and his playing is idiomatic.

Gramophone Magazine January 2023 “The result are performances in which clarity and precision seem to take on an expressive power of their own…Simply put, this is the most satisfying account of Martinů’s cello sonatas on record. |
