Synopsis

Album Description
"I have been completely taken by Russian cellist Alexander Kniazev's reworking of three of Mozart's sonatas for violin and piano. Mozart has not only been transcribed for cello and piano; he has been Romanticized. And it works wonderfully well in these meltingly lovely performances by Kniazev and Russian pianist Edouard Oganessian. This is a special release, particularly if you already know this music. You will be surprised." - CRISIS Although Mozart wrote no fewer than thirty-four sonatas for violin and keyboard, he didn't compose even one for cello. Alexander Kniazev's remarkable transcriptions of three of the violin sonatas for cello and piano go some way to remedying that deficiency. They transform the works, too: the cello brings out the rich, proto-Romantic sonorities implicit in the music. The Toccata Classics mission continues to be: "Forgotten music by great composers, great music by forgotten composers."
