Pierre Fournier专辑介绍：697082 The successor to Casals in the legendary trio with Thibaud and Cortot, Fournier made many notable chamber-music recordings including cycles of the Beethoven cello sonatas with Schnabel and Kempff, and two recordings of the Brahms sonatas with Firkusny and Kempff. A noted interpreter of the Dvorák Cello Concerto and Richard Strauss's Don Quixote (which he recorded with both Clemens Krauss and Herbert von Karajan), Fournier was an enthusiastic advocate of modern music—playing in the first (private) performance of Fauré's String Quartet (1925). Amongst the fine modern works for cello written for him are the concertos of Frank Martin and Bohuslav Martinu and the Cello Sonata by Francis Poulenc. He was also the soloist in the first performance of the Roussel Cello Sonata. -- Gramophone [3/1986]
