About
The greatest Parisian cellist of his day, August Franchomme, arranged the ‘Kreutzer’ Sonata in 1867. It is among Beethoven’s most ambitious pieces of chamber music, symphonic in scale. Reportedly, the first transcription for the cello was made by Carl Czerny, at the request of Beethoven himself. However, Czerny considerably simplified the most important virtuoso passages that had made this sonata a piece for seasoned musicians. Franchomme also made certain adaptations, inevitable when transcribing a piece of this complexity for a lower instrument, but he retained its sense of thrill and danger.
The cello version of Franck’s sonata has been better known since Jules Delsart made it in 1888, two years after its original composition and two years before Franck’s death. Great cellists including Maisky and Rostropovich have performed and recorded the sonata, but this pair of Italian musicians give it a new and enlightening context with the Beethoven sonata. This is Roberto Trainini’s second recording for Brilliant Classics after his album of the cello sonatas by Bohuslav Martinu (BC94816).
