Description
Cellist Yegor Dyachkov and pianist Jean Saulnier present Beethoven's complete Sonatas and Variations for Cello and Piano in digital and physical formats.
Comprising works from the composer's Op. 5, Op. 17, Op. 66, and Op. 102, the complete sonatas will be released as a three-CD box set at the price of 1 CD.
Spanning the composer's three creative periods, Beethoven's sonatas for cello and piano constitute a unique group within his oeuvre. "Recording the complete sonatas marks a milestone in an artistic career," says cellist Yegor Dyachkov. "Most artists undertake such a project only once, and only after having spent a long time in the company of these works, so that the various possible interpretive paths reach a kind of equilibrium."
Lauded for his remarkable stage presence, depth of insight, nuance and generosity, cellist Yegor Dyachkov is an inspired recitalist, chamber musician and concerto soloist. Since being proclaimed Artist of the Year by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, in 2000, Mr. Dyachkov has gone on to perform throughout Europe, Latin America, Asia, Canada and the United States, making his New York debut at Lincoln Center in October 2000. He has appeared with major orchestras in such cities as Antwerp, Geneva, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Toronto and Vancouver, and has performed at numerous international festivals in Évian, Kronberg, Lanaudière, Ottawa, and Tanglewood.
Jean Saulnier leads an active career as a recitalist, chamber musician and teacher. He is a sought-after collaborator by the best musicians from Canada and abroad. A recipient of numerous prizes in national and international competitions, including the William Kapell International Competition, the Prix d'Europe and the Leschetizky Competition, Jean Saulnier has performed in Canada, United States, South America and Europe. He has been guest soloist with renowned orchestras such as the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, the Orchestre Métropolitain, the Rochester Philharmonic and I Musici de Montréal. He is frequently heard in major Canadian music festivals and on CBC radio.
