Der Cellist Yegor Dyachkov und der Pianist Jean Saulnier präsentieren Beethovens komplette Sonaten und Variationen für Cello und Klavier in digitaler und physischer Form. Die vollständigen Sonaten, die Werke aus Op. 5, Op. 17, Op. 66 und Op. 102 umfassen, werden am 28. Oktober 2022 veröffentlicht.

Beethovens Sonaten für Cello und Klavier, die sich über drei Schaffensperioden des Komponisten erstrecken, bilden eine einzigartige Gruppe innerhalb seines Oeuvres. "Die Aufnahme der gesamten Sonaten ist ein Meilenstein in der künstlerischen Karriere", sagt der Cellist Yegor Dyachkov. "Die meisten Künstler nehmen ein solches Projekt nur einmal in Angriff, und auch erst, nachdem sie sich lange mit diesen Werken beschäftigt haben, so dass die verschiedenen möglichen Interpretationswege eine Art Gleichgewicht erreichen."
