Pierre Fournier (cello) and Wilhelm Backhaus (piano) perform Brahms' Sonata No. 1 in E Minor for 'Cello And Piano Opus 38 and Sonata No. 2 in F Major For 'Cello And Piano Opus 99. Recorded at Victoria Hall, Geneva, May 1-3, 1955.

Fournier's particular brand of lyricism suits these sonatas very well, and he sounds especially fine on the lower strings... and Fournier makes golden sounds. He takes the slow movement much faster than his rivals, but sings the more lyrical trio section with a sweetness that is wholly disarming. His performance of the finale of this sonata (No.1) is without question the best.
-Gramophone
Cellist Pierre Fournier (1906-1986) developed a more suave, elegant style that became his endearing trademark for more than 40 years. The 1955 record of the Brahms' 2 Cello Sonatas, with pianist Wilhelm Backhaus (1884-1969), captures the wonderful wide-ranging beauty of dignity, passion, joy and reserve in both works.
