The two Sonatas for cello and piano constitute works of great significance in Brahms’s output. Powerfully lyrical, a realm of pure interiority, they provide a glimpse of his youthful period as well as his high maturity. These summits of chamber music, with their protean humanity, call for complementarity and osmosis on the part of their interpreters. Raphaël Perraud and Geoffroy Couteau establish a skilfully matured balance. Gentleness and impetuosity, melancholy and frenzy, meditation and elation are combined in inflections of eloquent spontaneity. The fantastical aspect of this epic combat between cello and piano never ceases to gain in profundity and lyricism in the course of their performances.
