This single-movement sonata for cello and piano, Evgeny Kissin’s Opus 2, evokes a sombre, melancholic ballad. The approximately ten-minute work from 2016 places high demands on both instrumentalists in its execution. Having rehearsed the sonata in close consultation with the composer and performed it, Steven Isserlis contributes fingerings and bowings in an additional cello part. A marvellous addition to the cello repertoire!

There are clear instructions for the performers within the score. I would recommend this for an advanced cellist who would like to add a modern piece to their repertoire.

Mr. Kissin’s music displays a range of extreme emotions. The works that have been published so far reveal the sharp intellect and natural artistry that also characterize his performances.
