Ophélie Gaillard makes her mark with every recording, from Dreams to the critically acclaimed Bach Suites, via Bach Arias with her ensemble Pulcinella, she never ceases to renew genres through the perfection of her interpretations. Here, accompanied by top-class soloists Louis Schwizgebel-Wang and Fabio Di Càsola, she brings us a Brahms recording of rare intensity. Two monumental sonatas and a trio with clarinet, glorious moments in which the cello sings as only it can; lyricism sublimated under the bow of Ophélie Gaillard.
