Drawing on their extensive chamber music experience, the two artists meticulously portray Beethoven’s formal innovations and deepening expression through the intimate dialogue between cello and piano.\nTokyo M Plus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Signum Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52531962249505,"sku":"635212096925","price":4890.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/635212096925.jpg?v=1775189490","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/635212096925","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
