Brahms/ Fischer Duo/ Fischer - Brahms Cello Sonatas

On this new release the Fischer Duo beautifully performs the two Brahms Sonatas for Cello and Piano. This album also includes Two Songs for Alto, Viola (or Cello) and Piano, Op. 91, performed with cello alongside mezzo soprano Abigail Fischer. Since 1971 when they started playing together, the Fischer Duo has delighted lovers of chamber music across the country with performances described as "boldly imaginative and technically assured," (Boston Globe), "intense and persuasive" (Gramophone), and "Soaring lines with both beauty and intensity" (New York Times). The Fischer Duo has been widely praised by music critics for it's choice of repertoire. Thoroughly versed in the classical repertoire of Brahms, Beethoven and Schumann, the Fischer Duo has acquired an equally impressive reputation for rediscovering neglected works of the past and for commissioning new pieces from masters such as George Rochberg, Richard Wilson, Samuel Jones, Augusta Read Thomas, Pierre Jalbert and over 20 more.
