This new recording is already my pick for 2024. The performance is nuanced and interpretation is amazing.
Elinor Frey is known for her new music and commissions of composers. She’s also won awards for her playing and research of older composers. With “Dall’Abaco and the Art of Variaiton” she combines these passions brilliantly! On this latest release, she adds her own spin with the music of Giuseppe Clemente Dall’Abaco in three sonatas.
Bonus for us, Frey also includes two Trios for cellos by Dall’Abaco. These are very charming, and deserve repeated hearings!
