Chris Wolf,\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>Classical 107<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Dialogues <\/strong>by cellist\u00a0No\u00e9mie Raymond\u00a0<\/strong>and pianist\u00a0Zhenni Li-Cohen\u00a0<\/strong>present two monumental works composed by\u00a0Sergei Rachmaninoff\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Rebecca Clarke<\/strong>. The album centers around a pair of sonatas that the performers hold dear. It seeks to bridge two universes in conversations between two instruments, two musicians, and two composers. The performers write, \u201cit is a dialogue between you and us.\u201d<\/p>\n

This album explores the duality of two titanic masterpieces, from the pen of a woman and a man, both virtuoso instrumentalists with strikingly distinct musical voices.\u00a0Dialogues<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>begins with\u00a0Rachmaninoff<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 19<\/em>, composed during his most prolific period alongside his famous Piano Concerto No. 2. Considered by some to be his most successful chamber work, Rachmaninoff dedicated the sonata to Anatoly Brandukov, his best man at his wedding and a celebrated Russian cellist who also premiered several of Tchaikovsky\u2019s works. Brandukov inspired Rachmaninoff to imbue the cello line with expressiveness and intensity. The album continues with\u00a0Clarke<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0Viola Sonata (Version for Cello & Piano)<\/em>, composed in 1919. An internationally renowned violist, Clarke is often considered a proponent of \u201cEnglish Impressionism.\u201d Despite placing second in a prestigious composition competition, Clarke\u2019s works were not celebrated or performed as much as those of her male peers due to societal gender biases. It was not until the 1970s that Clarke emerged from obscurity, and this Sonata has since taken its rightful place in the standard repertoire for viola.<\/p>\n
