Both cellist and pianist are in perfect harmony, and the music is just wonderfully written. Recordings and musicians of this quality do not come around every day!
Wunderschöne und lyrische Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und fein komponierten Sonate im gut phrasierten Tempo mit tiefem Ton des Cellos und klarem Klang des Klaviers. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Der intime und perfekt entsprechende Dialog zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist echt bewundernswert. Einfach wunderbar!
Very beautiful! The first 2 movements remind me of the cello sonatas of Beethoven, beautifully crafted movements. The last one to me has an almost Nordic sound, like Grieg or Stenhammar. Thanks for posting!
Röntgen’s name is one of the composer names listed in large gold letters on the balcony of the Concertgebouw. He just have had quite a local impact at the time that hall was built.
No, not at all, he was an international figure, if you read the info you get the idea. He and figures like Jacques van Lier, Jan de Haan, Johannes Messchaert, Hollandsch Trio etc. were more popular abroad than in their own country. Rontgen performed with figures like Pablo Casals, Johannes Brahms, Edvard Grieg, Niels Gade for full concert halls. Read about his tours through Germany with singer Messchaert and Stockhausen, the Schubert evenings they had, were extremely popular. It is a forgotten page in Dutch music history like we have so many.
@@bartjebartmans sorry. I wrote that in a confusing way. What I meant to say was that he must have been really prominent in the Netherlands at the time the Concertgebouw was built to have earned the honor of having his name on one of the balconies. Apart from the canonical Austro-German composers he and Wagenaar are the only Dutch composers whose names are on those balconies IIRC.
@@mishibird There are quite a few Dutch composers listed: Sweelinck, Verhulst, Dopper, Diepenbrock, Cornelis Schuyt, Willem Pijper, Zweers, Johannes Wanning(!?), Rontgen, Wagenaar and the Flemish Jacob Obrecht, Orlando di Lasso, Clemens non Papa. I had to google Johannes Wanning, didn't even know who that was.
@@bartjebartmans oh right. I remember seeing Pijper too. As you can see it’s been quite a while since I’ve been to the Concertgebouw. This needs to be remedied immediately as soon as this pandemic is over.

Very beautiful these cellosonatas of Julius Röntgen. He has also composed magnificent piano quintets. Thanks !
Captivating & mesmerizing from the first note to the last. Thank you for that pleasure!
vielen Dank
