Rachmaninov | Chopin Cello Sonatas

Duo Partners Alisa Weilerstein and Inon Barnatan Release First Recording Together, on Decca (Oct 2)

"Isn't it nice to know that performances by [Weilerstein] and Barnatan need not live only in one's memory?" – Philadelphia Inquirer

Pianist Inon Barnatan and cellist Alisa Weilerstein, longtime and exclusive recital partners who "play with a dazzling technique and a level of communication and expression so clear that they can practically finish each other's phrases" (Boston Classical Review), release their first album together on Decca on October 2. Theychose for this first recording the Chopin and Rachmaninov cello sonatas – each a monumental work for both instruments – which they have been exploring together in concert for years, as well as shorter works by each composer. Following the release of the album will be a six-country tour in November, in venues ranging from London's Wigmore Hall to the Cemal Resit Rey Concert Hall in Istanbul, with further stops in Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen and Bonn. In early February they reunite in the U.S. for two more appearances: in Fort Worth and at Stanford's Bing Concert Hall.
