I have always loved this first Cello sonata of Beethoven simply because of its overall sunny character and youthful exuberance. These two legendary figures create a perfect dialogue, and of course there is the unique richness of the Casals tone.
El violoncelo en manos de Casals trasciende toda contingencia, da alas a la melodía, la impregna de una llama vivificante y nos devuelve intacto el genio de Beethoven, sin mayor muestra de virtuosismo ni bramido inútil. Suntuoso en su sencillez, escueto en su majestad.
I 've listened to this sonata many many times, almost allways with Casals; every time what a gem
Bravo, Maestro. Still my favorite cellist of all time, no contest!
If there would be a list of world heritage for musical recordings, this would be number one.

Horowszowski matches Casals, with his Gold wrapped in Velvet tone.
Glorious work and performance.
