Benedict Kloeckner, a prize winner at numerous competitions, including in Verbier in 2012, has joined José Gallardo, one of today's most sought-after chamber music pianists – a musician who not only works with Anne-Sophie Mutter and Gidon Kremer, but also cultivates contacts with composers such as Wolfgang Rihm.

They both shed light on the 'Golden Era' of the cello in two gigantic leaps in time, from the stormy Sonata of the young Richard Strauss to a Fantasy Piece by Wolfgang Rihm that is as light as a whisper. This is a creative, intelligent selection of works, performed at an international standard of excellence: an absolute gem of chamber music!
