Ferdinand Ries: Cello Sonata in G minor, Op.125, Guido Larisch (cello), Robert Hill (fortepiano)

Ferdinand Ries - Cello Sonata in G Minor, Op. 125, Guido Larisch – Violoncello, Robert Hill - Fortepiano I. Grave – Allegro – 00:00 II. Larghetto Con Moto – 15:54 III. Rondo, Allegretto – 20:55 Ferdinand Ries (28 November 1784 – 13 January 1838) was a German composer. Ries was a friend, pupil and secretary of Ludwig van Beethoven. He composed eight symphonies, a violin concerto, eight piano concertos, three operas, and numerous other works in many genres, including 26 string quartets. In 1838 he published a collection of reminiscences of his teacher Beethoven, co-written with Franz Wegeler. “Ferdinand Ries was an innovator of the cello/piano sonata form. Neither Mozart nor Haydn composed cello sonatas; for their more intimate music they preferred the trio or even the string quartet where, in either case, the cello's role always remains submerged. Ries gave the cello a greater and more melodic role (which he learned from Beethoven; it was Beethoven who created the classical form of the genre treating the violoncello and piano as equal partners in his Sonata in A major op. 69 from 1809), and the genre is all the more enriched because of it. But you won't hear Beethoven in any of Ries' works! The Cello Sonata Op. 125 also exists in a violin/piano version and has piano passages that reflect early, classical modes of performance. Ries wrote the piece while in his late London period. He composed it at the beginning of 1823 and published it in London in 1825. The fact that he had the work issued simultaneously with an alternative instrumentation with one violin part suggests that he intended it not for performance in the concert hall but for the English capital's varied and vast market for music for private and social performance. The performances by Guido Larisch on the cello and Robert Hill on piano are quite terrific here. These two men are clearly skilled at performing both late classical and early romantic music. Very highly recommended.” (review from ClassicsToday.com)
