It was a great idea to unite in one CD two composers who symbolized the first generation of Germanic romanticism: Schubert and Mendelssohn, associated with Richard Strauss who was to incarnate with Mahler the last jolts of post-romanticism. Schubert composed his sonata for arpeggione and piano in A minor, D.821-1824, for an instrument whose very brief existence was the arpeggione. It begins with an Allegro moderato, developed in a passionate tone, but devoid of any feverishness or anxiety, elements that frequently appear in many works by Schubert contemporaries of this Sonata. The second movement of this sonata for arpeggione and piano, a rather short Adagio is oriented towards a kind of gravity contained close to certain pieces for piano composed during the same period. The last movement, an Allegretto, far less optimistic than the original Allegro Moderato, nevertheless scarcely resists giving way to a good humor, bringing us back to a carefree Schubert, free from all anxiety. The Mendelssohn Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 2 in D major, op.58 opens with an Allegro assai vivace with an impulse of lightness and grace. An Allegro soon replaced by a light and fair Allegretto scherzando clearly indicating that it was indeed composed by the author of the Midsummer Night Dream … The next Adagio also bathes in a kind of intense light, ignorant Deliberately any leaning towards any sadness despite the passionate speech of the cello. With the last movement Molto allegro e vivace, Mendelssohn regains all its whirling spirits and concludes this movement in a kind of irrepressible joy. Richard Strauss's Sonata for Violoncello and Piano op.6 is the last part of this triptych devoted to the Romantic Sonata for cello and piano. The work is due to a young man only sixteen years old and yet what amazing maturity is expressed in this Sonata! Strauss, of course, underwent the influence of his elders, especially that of Schumann in the first movement. In this sonata op.6, dating from 1881-1883, Strauss already asserts a certain personality in the Andante ma non troppo following this first movement, haunted by the presence of Schumann. The Finale-Allegro vivo which ends this Sonata, proves to be facetious, accusing on the contrary a certain influence inherited from Mendelssohn. The general tone is rather combative and will continue until the conclusion of the movement. An eclectic and original program that does not hesitate to include a neglected score: the Sonata for cello and piano by Richard Strauss where already begins the style of the brilliant author of Till The mischievous. All this repertory is interpreted with energy and brio by Yan Levionnois, cello and Guillaume Bellom, piano, two young ardent and inspired musicians who restore to these three works a new youth leaping, nervous, elusive!
