A cello recital with a difference from two maverick geniuses, displaying the fecundity of their collaboration. The world-famous cellist Steven Isserlis, one of the best-loved instrumentalists of today, joins forces with composer and pianist Thomas Ad\xe8s, described by the New York Times as one of the most imposing figures in contemporary music.\r
This recording opens with three of Liszt\u2019s arrangements for cello and piano\u2014the dark plangency of Isserlis\u2019s tone emphasizing their elegiac power. Janacek\u2019s Pohadka (\u2018A Tale\u2019) is based on a story with many magical elements, and it is this particular quality which Isserlis and Ad\xe8s bring out in their aerial performance. The passionate ecstasy of Faure\u2019s Cello Sonata No 2 is deeply felt, and the elemental mysterious sadness of Kurtag\u2019s miniatures leads the listener into the 21st century and to the \u2018title track\u2019 of this disc which Ad\xe8s wrote for Isserlis himself. Lieux retrouves is a characteristically thrilling tour de force, displaying influences from all the composers previously featured and many more. The writing for the cello reaches uncharted levels of difficulty. Isserlis in his thoughtful booklet notes describes it in pictorial terms of rivers and mountains\u2014here\u2019s Anthony Tommasini, again in the New York Times: \u2018The rippling figures for piano and cello spin out in crazed, cyclic riffs; the crystalline piano harmonies sound as if the wind were rustling the chimes in the pagoda; the feisty, industrialized propulsive bursts in the finale.\u2019
