Cello Sonatas of Richard Strauss & Edvard Grieg
Marcy Rosen, cello
BRIDGE 9512

Cellist Marcy Rosen's recent recording of Mendelssohn's Complete Works for Cello and Piano with pianist Lydia Artymiw (BRIDGE 9501)  has received glowing reviews from the international press.  The present reissue of her 1989 MHS Strauss & Grieg CD presents two staples of the romantic cello repertoire in impassioned readings.  Ms. Rosen and Ms. Artymiw can also be heard on BRIDGE 9264, sonatas by Thuille, Tovey and Dohnanyi.

Reviews:

"The sonatas performed on this captivating disc by the cellist Marcy Rosen and pianist Susan Walters came from the minds of composers most often associated with large-scale works. Even so, the intimate pieces presented here find Richard Strauss and Edvard Grieg in assured and often inspired form.” - Gramophone

“This one – beautifully recorded and passionately performed – hits it out of the park for classical newbies and devotees alike.” - ICON

“Together these two are a superlative chamber music team. Rosen is in perfect command of her instrument. Her playing has a beautiful singing quality and Walters’ piano is sensitive to it. Together their music making flows spontaneously.” - theWholeNote

“The recording sounds as fresh and vibrant as anything being produced today. The playing by both artists sparkle.” - Performing Arts Monterey Bay
