Review
Kate Rockstrom
I don’t know whether or not you’ve heard Dvorak’s works for cello and piano before, but I think that this sonority is almost unmatched by anything else. The spiralling upwards of the tunes and richness of vibrato and chords makes this choice of repertoire something to please everyone. Starting with the meaty Sonatina in G Major what follows are a series of enchanting miniatures that are perfect for a summer afternoon.
