Zuill Bailey (cello) & Simone Dinnerstein (piano)

\n

Having received high praise for their recent releases of\n‘Russian Cello Masterpieces’ (Zuill Bailey), and the ‘Berlin\nConcert’ and ‘Bach’s Goldberg Variations’, (Simone Dinnerstein),\nthese two accomplished musicians re-affirm their long–standing\npartnership with a new 2CD set of the complete works for cello by\nBeethoven. Simone Dinnerstein and Zuill Bailey have performed\ntogether regularly for more than a decade, and together they\nreceived the Classical Recording Foundation Award in 2006 and 2007.\nBoth are known as highly accomplished musicians with a flair for\narresting interpretations. Simone Dinnerstein has received major\ncritical acclaim for her recent releases of her acclaimed “Berlin\nConcert”, and Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Zuill Bailey’s recording\nof Russian music for cello and piano has been similarly well\nreceived by the press. Learning Beethoven’s complete works for\npiano and cello was the first major project that the two of them\nundertook when they first began working together as a duo.\nBeethoven’s masterpieces for piano and cello represent arguably the\ngreatest evolution of musical composition by one of the world’s\nmost remarkable and creative minds. The five Sonatas and the sets\nof Variations chronicle refined points in the early, middle and\nlate stages of his compositions.
