In The Shadow Of World War II: Cello Sonatas Composed In The Aftermath Of WWII

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This disc is organized around the intriguing fact that during the one-year period from late 1948 to 1949, by odd coincidence, three important figures in twentieth century music just happened to compose cello sonatas. The three composers Poulenc, Prokofiev, and Carter, for their differences, were all experiencing the aftermath of World War II--and this reality is observable in these works. Prokofiev's sonata breathes free and is more lyrical than much of his output; the Poulenc is playful. The Carter is a different story, as the young composer was just sewing his musical oats at the time. Gilbert Kalish and Joel Krosnick have been performing together for decades, and it shows in the easy rapport they enjoy in the music. --Gwendolyn Freed
