Georges Onslow was descended from an aristocratic English family, his paternal grandfather being the first Earl of Onslow. Georges was born in France, where he studied, though he also took lessons from Dussek and Cramer in London. His esteem was such that he later succeeded to Cherubini’s chair of music in Paris. He was famed for his chamber music, and the three Cello Sonatas, Op 16, completed in 1820, were compared with those of Beethoven. They represent some of the finest such sonatas to be written in France in the first half of the nineteenth century.


   




Review By Erik Levi,BBC Music Magazine,May 2013

These elegantly crafted Sonatas from 1820 combine some of the thematic rigour of Beethoven with the ornate virtuosity of Weber. These are strongly committed and highly expressive performances. © 2013 BBC Music Magazine



Review By John Terauds,Musical Toronto,March 2013

German cellist Maria Kliegel and pianist Nina Tichman recorded these three companion works…with a combination of strength and grace that seems to be what is necessary to give this essentially poised, Classically-shaped, aristocratic music interest.

…it is beautiful and written with a high degree of craft. © 2013 Musical Toronto Read complete review



Review By David Vernier,ClassicsToday.com,March 2013

The three cello sonatas on offer here show a sure-handed mastery of cello idiom (Onslow played the instrument) and a facility for composition that gives equal voice and musical interest to both cello and piano…these are substantial works as demanding technically to the performer as they are immediately attractive to the ear of the listener.

Review By Brian Reinhart,MusicWeb International,March 2013

These are very romantic accounts of the sonatas. Nina Tichman is an excellent pianist and consistently a pleasure to hear; the recorded sound is faultless…All told, this is a first class production which sheds light on music I am very glad to have in my collection. © 2013 MusicWeb International Read complete review
