I 've listened to this sonata many many times, almost allways with Casals; every time what a gem

Horowszowski matches Casals, with his Gold wrapped in Velvet tone.

Bravo, Maestro. Still my favorite cellist of all time, no contest!

[@meredith218461]

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 gran Casals. Genio. de los tiempos. 🇮🇷🏆🖐️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@pedroa.cantero9449]

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.
