Description:

The most popular Beethovenian music of the season! Beethoven by two of the most in-season performers of the moment! In 2018, Altstedt visited Japan with the Eisenstadt Haydn Orchestra (formerly the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra) and won rave reviews for his interpretation of Haydn, which makes full use of his aptitude for period playing. In his diverse repertoire, which has been released on various labels, Altstedt has shown youthful vigor and a clear and lucid understanding of Haydn's works, and each of his works is a new recording on Alpha by a brilliant cellist at the forefront of the 21st century that dazzles. In addition, the complete Beethoven sonatas for the anniversary year and his partner is Ronkwig, who is an experienced cellist and has been showing new ground in recent years. Beethoven had contact with various cello virtuosos during his lifetime, and wrote duets with the piano, his own medicine cabinet instrument, in his early, middle, and late periods. The truth of his creativity can only come to light when the instruments of the composer's lifetime are played in the proper manner, and here Ronkwig, who since the end of the 20th century has achieved overwhelming success on modern instruments in his interpretations of the Viennese classics and Schubert, and who also shows an outstanding aptitude for period instruments, has created a duet with the same instrument that Beethoven owned in his later years, the piano. He used a fortepiano (C. Graf) of the same period and maker as the one owned by Beethoven in his later years.This is a commemorative year release for Alpha. Naxos Japan
