Ma and Ax do it again!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beethoven: Complete Sonatas for Piano & Cello (Audio CD)
At first I was hesitant to buy this set because of the price. But later I found out that it was well worth it. Their ability to basically control the instruments that they are playing is incredible. Most importantly is the feeling that they have put in to the Beethoven cello sonatas. I have noticed that of all the classical duos and trios that i have heard, Ma and Ax are the best. They seem to communicate well together while playing. This selection definitely receives five stars.

Beethoven: Complete Sonatas for Piano & Cello - The Best,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beethoven: Complete Sonatas for Piano & Cello (Audio CD)
Yoyo Ma and Emanuel Ax have done it again! Beethoven himself would have been delighted. To hear these two magnificent, expert masters of music bring out the musical nuances of these five Sonatas was pure joy for me, as a cellist, especially the fifth one. Listening to it has helped me understand it better, and as a consequence, play it better. It never gets easier, but hearing these two delightful musicians has been an unquestionable help, besides pure joy. The technical aspects of the recording is top quality as well. I have other recordings of these pieces, but none as beautiful as this. Whether you want to play it, or simply listen to it, my advice is: buy it!

Great Stuff,
By "tom_passmore" (Repton, Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beethoven: Complete Sonatas for Piano & Cello (Audio CD)
I have listened to many recordings of these sonatas and I have to admit that these are amazing!Although I agree that Yo-Yo Ma is not the best cellist to have ever walked the earth (anyone who knows anythign about cello playing would admit this) he is certainly without doubt the best around at the moment!!! Who knows who he rates better than Ma. Du Pre?? I hope not! People often forget that a sonata is a piece of chamber music! Ma and Ax, certainly not forgeting this play so beautifully together in this that this is a piece of chamber music that cannot be missed! BUY IT!!!!!!!! (Whilst throwing away any recordings of du pre!)
