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\u003cbr\u003eThis 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\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Romance oubli\\xc3\\xa9e S132\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; {FRANZ LISZT} [3'42]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Die Zelle in Nonnenwerth S382\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; {FRANZ LISZT} [5'35]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Die Trauergondel La lugubre gondola S134\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; {FRANZ LISZT} [8'01]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Poh\\xc3\\xa1dka A Tale\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Con moto\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {LEO JAN\\xc3\\x81CVEK} [4'55]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Poh\\xc3\\xa1dka A Tale\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Con moto\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {LEO JAN\\xc3\\x81CVEK} [4'03]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Poh\\xc3\\xa1dka A Tale\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Allegro\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {LEO JAN\\xc3\\x81CVEK} [2'46]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Sonata No 2 in G minor Op 117\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Allegro\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {GABRIEL FAUR\\xc3\\u2030} [\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Sonata No 2 in G minor Op 117\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Andante\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {GABRIEL FAUR\\xc3\\u2030} [\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Sonata No 2 in G minor Op 117\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Allegro vivo\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {GABRIEL FAUR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;For Steven - Im Memoriam Pauline Mara\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;solo cello\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {GY\\xc3\\u2013RGY KURT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Pilinszky J\\xc3\\xa1nos - G\\xc3\\xa9rard de Nerval\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;solo cello\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {GY\\xc3\\u2013RGY KURT\\xc3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Schatten\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;solo cello\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {GY\\xc3\\u2013RGY KURT\\xc3\\x81G} [0'59]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Gy\\xc3\\xb6rgy Kro\\xc3\\xb3 in memoriam\u0026amp; 60;\/\u0026amp; 62; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;solo cello\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {GY\\xc3\\u2013RGY KURT\\xc3\\x81G\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Lieux retrouv\\xc3\\xa9s\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Les eaux\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {THOMAS AD\\xc3\\u02c6S} [4'34]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Lieux retrouv\\xc3\\xa9s\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;La montagne\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {THOMAS AD\\xc3\\u02c6S} [4'28]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Lieux retrouv\\xc3\\xa9s\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Les champs\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {THOMAS AD\\xc3\\u02c6S} [4'18]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Lieux retrouv\\xc3\\xa9s\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;La ville - Cancan macabre\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; {THOMAS AD\\xc3\\u02c6S} [3'5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55159403217281,"sku":"683550","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51ybYamQZXL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767976232","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/683550","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
