Beethoven: The Conquering Hero - Complete Works for Cello and Piano / Kloetzel, Koenig
| Jennifer Kloetzelās lifelong journey with Beethoven began early: she was eight years old when her teacher placed the composerās second cello sonata on her music stand, opening the door to an odyssey of intrigue and, ultimately, obsession with the composerās music. Since then, rarely has a day passed without Beethoven being a part of Jenniferās life. She has studied and performed all of the composerās duos and trios. As founding cellist of the Cypress String Quartet, she spent 20 years rehearsing, performing and recording the string quartets. Jennifer now arrives at a career milestone with this recording of Beethovenās Complete Works for Cello and Piano. Views vary as to what comprises Beethovenās ācompleteā works for cello and piano. Jenniferās discerning choice includes the five Sonatas for Cello and Piano, three sets of variations ā based on arias from Mozartās Die Zauberflƶte and Handelās Judas Maccabaeus ā and the Horn sonata for which the composer also wrote a cello part. Jennifer spares no attention to detail across the entire spectrum of this significant recording project. Her performing partner Robert Koenig plays on a 19th century Blüthner concert grand piano. The illuminating liner notes are penned by Beethoven scholar William Meredith who boldly states, āif there were only the five cello sonatas of Beethoven left of all his music, these alone would have cemented his place in history.ā The recording was made in the stellar acoustic of Skywalker Sound. The 3-album set is lavishly packaged in a deluxe digipack. The title track, āThe Conquering Heroā ā from the opening set of variations from Handelās Judas Maccabaeus ā evokes everything for Jennifer about Beethovenās music, coming from a place of triumph and joy. |
