Now playing in this video: 🎵 Grieg: "Sonata for cello and piano in A minor Op.36"

Gautier Capuçon and Kim Bernard bring bold Nordic drama and lyrical sweep to Grieg's "Cello Sonata in A minor, Op. 36", a work rich in folk-tinged melody and passionate contrast. Sweeping and full-blooded, the sonata showcases both artists in a vivid partnership of dramatic weight and songful warmth.
