Filipe Quaresma (cello) and Antoio Rosado (piano), two of the most distinguished Portuguese musicians of our time, bring us a wonderful recording of Beethoven?s Cello Sonatas n? 4 and 5 and the famous 7 Variations on ?Bei M?nnen, Welche Liebe F?hlen?. A beautiful album that register to posterity the unique artistry of this talented duo and celebrates the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven. Filipe Quaresma has feet in both the period-performance and contemporary music worlds, something that' immediately evident in his precise, superbly articulated playing, full of passion yet often quite thoughtful. Antonio Rosado is a performer with full control of his at. He has as much of emotion and poetry as of color and good taste.
