Complete Music for Cello & Piano

Halifax-based record label Leaf Music is pleased to announce the release of cellist Robert DeMaine and pianist Peter Takács's double album of Beethoven's complete works for piano and cello. Set to be released July 8 2022, this stunning collection showcases Beethoven's unprecedented textures and formal innovations found in his sonatas for cello and piano. DeMaine is a master of Beethoven's conversational tone and technical flourishes, playing with "lapidary technical precision, and a persuasive identification with the idiom of the music at hand," While Takács showcases the composer's experiments in harmony and form with his noted ability to communicate musical interpretations.
