In 2005 Anne Gastinel and Claire Désert recorded this Schubert programme and were rewarded with a RTL d’or and a<br />
Gramophone Editor’s Choice.<br />
The magic of this iconoclastic programme (Anne Gastinel transcribed the lieder herself) lies in assimilation rather than<br />
imitation. The cello absorbs sonata, sonatina and lieder as though they had all been written for it: in fact it is the cello that<br />
has saved the sonata for posterity now that the arpeggione is long forgotten.<br />
Since winning the Rostropovich Competition in 1990, Anne Gastinel, has had scant regard for her “classical” image.<br />
Through her close rapport with pianist Claire Désert she has recreated a repertory of songs by a composer that she<br />
loves, without the absence of words taking anything away from the capacity to move. “Delicate, fine, natural. Never<br />
overstated, never the slightest trace of sentimentality, yet constantly singing, [this performance] is, warm and noble”,<br />
wrote Le Nouvel Observateur.
