Description:
Schubert's "Arpeggione Sonata" is a work for arpeggione, an instrument invented in the early 19th century. It is a masterpiece filled with lyrical beauty. Maisky's cello sings with great intensity, and Argerich's piano responds with a spontaneous outpouring of emotion, weaving the melodic beauty of the work. Two dreamlike pieces by Schumann are also included.
