Description:

140th anniversary of his birth & 55th anniversary of his death. Fournier and Backhaus, the best possible pairing of the two, have created a historic masterpiece. The prince of cello, Fournier's expression is full of the stretch and shadows of a young sweetfish, and Backhaus in his mature period radiates a pale glow in his withered taste. The two musicians at their peak respect each other's artistry and compete with each other while enhancing each other's skills, the most ideal form of a duet. This is the only recording of their collaboration that makes me wish that more recordings had been made. Universal Music
