All of the works gathered on this album have - as different as they may be - one thing in common: they can be heard in the popular and idealised folk tone popular in the Romantic period.
Whether Schumann's Fantasiestucke or Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata, all of these pieces catch the ear quickly, stir deep emotions and yet are complexly composed works that place the highest demands on cello and piano.
