Brahms: Cello Sonata No 2 in F, Op 99.
Building a Library compares recordings of the second cello sonata by Johannes Brahms, written more than twenty years after his first during a summer retreat in 1886 at Hofstetten near Lake Thun in Switzerland.
Its fiery exuberant character is a world away from the brooding, nostalgic nature its predecessor. Recordings under the spotlight include those by Janos Starker and Pierre Fournier alongside more recent performances by Norbert Anger and Steven Isserlis.
