Beethoven performed by the two hottest artists of the moment!]\nIn 2018, Altstedt visited Japan with the Eisenstadt Haydn Philharmonic (formerly the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Philharmonic) and earned rave reviews for his interpretation of Haydn, which fully showcased his aptitude for period performance practice. With a diverse repertoire released across various labels, this brilliant 21st-century cellist—who demonstrates youthful energy and a keen, lucid understanding of the works, astonishing listeners with every release—is releasing a new recording on Alpha! Moreover, timed to coincide with this commemorative year, this complete set of Beethoven’s sonatas—featuring as his partner the battle-hardened Ronkvich, who has been breaking new ground in recent years—can truly be called the pinnacle of Beethoven performances that audiences are eager to hear right now.\nDuring his lifetime, Beethoven interacted with various master cellists and composed duets with the piano—his go-to instrument—in his early, middle, and late periods. The true essence of his creativity only comes to light when the instruments based on models from the composer’s lifetime are played using the appropriate techniques. Since the late 20th century, Ronkvich has achieved overwhelming success in interpretations of the Viennese Classical period and Schubert even on modern instruments, while also demonstrating exceptional aptitude for period instruments. Here, he uses a fortepiano (C. Graf) from the same period and by the same maker as the one Beethoven owned in his later years. Altschedt, who plays the Guadagnini cello with boundless freedom using Classical-era bows and techniques, has been a collaborator for 15 years; together, they treat listeners to a rich performance that showcases their perfect rapport. This is truly a commemorative release unique to Alpha.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525305557281,"sku":"4589538754358","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538754358.jpg?v=1789730747","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538754358","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
