On this CD, Jelena Ocic and Federico Lovato perform five of ten preludes that the great 19th century pianist Ignaz Moscheles adapted from Bach's „Well Tempered Clavier“ and Carl Czerny's version of the „Kreutzer“ Sonata for Piano and Violoncello by Beethoven

The Sonata for Violoncello and Piano op. 11 no. 3 of 1919 by Paul Hindemith has been described as one of the young Hindemith’s key works. His stylistic horizon has widened and he has clearly taken his distance to Late Romantic models such as Richard Strauss, whose „Alpine Symphony“ Hindemith called “A whopping piece of hocus-pocus!” And, even more drastic: „The man has really gone off the rails. Rather be hanged than ever write such music!” (to Emmy Ronne-feldt, 14 Nov. 1917).   Within the context of modernism at this time, the stylistic experiments of the young Hindemith are infused far more by impressions of Johannes Brahms’ musical idiom and some of Max Reger’s contemporaries. Earlier models are also echoed: Mozart, and above all Bach

Bezwingende Adaptionen für Cello und Klavier

Diese CD kombiniert gelungene Transkriptionen von Beethovens ‚Kreutzer-Sonate’ (Czerny) und  Bachs ‚Wohltemperiertem Klavier’ (Moscheles) mit Hindemiths Cellosonate und veranschaulicht die Bezüge zu den jeweils großen Meistern. Das Duo Ocic-Lovato überzeugt erneut durch intelligente Programmierung und einen hoch musikalischen, packenden Zugriff auf diese Meisterwerke!

"This is an unusual program, to be sure, but one that speaks volumes about this highly talented young Croatian cellist and her equally endowed Italian partner, Federico Lovato. Uncommon repertoire, no doubt, but recommended to cello fans and curiosity seekers alike." Jerry Dubins - Fanfare Magazine - May 19th, 2012
