Arp / Frantz - Arpeggio [CD]

Cellist Julian Arp and pianist Caspar Frantz present a very personal CD on GENUIN - Revolving around two pieces by composer and conductor Klaus Arp, the two create a highly emotional program featuring works by Franz Schubert, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Astor Piazzolla. The memory of Julian Arp's uncle was the impetus for this production that brings chamber music together spanning the centuries, ranging from the sweeping lines of Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata to Bach's first solo suite for cello and Piazzolla's brilliant Grand Tango. At the heart of the CD are two works by Klaus Arp, including his intricately branching Zu zwei Händen (For two hands) and the rhapsodic narrative Suitencello. Moving chamber music!
