Julia Hagen. Annika Treutler

For many years in a row, Julia Hagen could be experienced as a lively and inspired chamber musician alongside colleagues such as Igor Levit at the Heidelberger Frühling Musikfestival. Now she, who has long been one of the outstanding soloists of the younger generation, returns with a highly attractive duo program. Together with her pianist Annika Treutler, she has released a highly acclaimed recording of Johannes Brahms' cello sonatas. Classical and Romantic are juxtaposed like two opposing expressive attitudes in this attractive programme, but both great sonatas - those by Beethoven and Brahms - are decisive pioneers for the triumphant advance of the cello as a solo instrument.
