Cellist Robin Michael and pianist Daniel Tong present this fascinating recording of the two sonatas for cello and piano by Brahms along with Robert Schumann's distinctive Fünf Stücke im Volkston. Taking a historically informed approach, the unique performance of these mainstays of the repertoire provides a captivating insight into the chamber music sound world of the late 19th century. In their quest for authenticity, Michael plays a cello with gut strings, while Tong is heard on an 1897 Blüthner boudoir grand piano (pictured on the cover) thought to have been selected by Brahms himself from the maker's factory.
