In 2017 Matt Haimovitz was giving a lesson on the Poulenc Sonata when, reaching for the score, he tripped and his 1710 Gofriller cello flew out of his hand and snapped in two. This, his first album since its restoration, opens with that piece. The crystal-clear recorded sound is perfect for the work’s neo-Classical brittleness and there are many elegant stylistic touches from both players. The duo creates a spellbinding atmosphere of devout calm in the Cavatine and the reborn cello sounds out richly in the Finale’s broad opening chords.
