The Schumann - a slight work which, in other hands, can be rather humdrum - gives us the opportunity of admiring the cellist's ravishing cantabile and his finesse of rubato and of tonal gradation... the Debussy is notable for its sensitivity, fluidity and fantasy, and for the remarkable rapport which evidently exists between these two artists: the finale in particular drew forth a spontaneous cry of 'Bravo!' from me' ... 'supremely beautiful playing from both cellist and pianist, with never a dead note in even the most incidental bit of figuration [Schubert] ... the engineering is superb: the sound is glorious, and so true to life that if you shut your eyes you can imagine the players in your own room'.\\r\u003cbr\u003eGramophone\\r\u003cbr\u003eJanuary 1962 \u0026amp; October 1970 \\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. 1.
