About

Pieter Wispelwey, and his gut string cello, partner for a second time with Paolo Giacometti in a programme of Chopin and Mendelssohn. But there is a another great musical figure on this disc – the cellist and composer Karl Davidov, who studied with Moscheles and Mendelssohn’s violinist and composer friend Ferdinand David. Davidov’s brilliant arrangements of the Chopin Waltzes Op.64 form a sparkling interlude between Mendelssohn’s brilliant 2nd sonata and Chopin’s late and great sonata for cello and piano.

Paolo Giacometti performs on an Erard piano.
