Pierre Fournier & Wilhelm Kempff – Beethoven: Cello Works (1966/2018) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

“Pierre Fournier’s 1965 collaboration with Wilhelm Kempff yielded one of the greatest complete recordings of the Beethoven cello sonatas. Their account of Op. 69 epitomises the nobility and eloquence of these unparalleled interpretations, and CD transfers are remarkably spacious and detailed.” (Michael Jameson, BBC Music Magazine)
