Morning Glories: Beethoven Cello Sonatas

Every weekday at 10 a.m., the hosts at Classical MPR play a standout work based on the theme for the week. We call them Morning Glories.

This week on Morning Glories, we feature Beethoven Cello Sonatas — there's no good reason for this beyond the fact that there are five, so it fits nicely.

Monday

Cello Sonata No. 1
David Finckel, cello; Wu Han, piano

Tuesday

Cello Sonata No. 2
Lynn Harrell, cello; Vladimir Ashkenazy, piano

Wednesday

Cello Sonata No. 3
Zuill Bailey, cello; Simone Dinnerstein, piano

Thursday

Cello Sonata No. 4
Mischa Maisky, cello; Martha Argerich, piano

Friday

Cello Sonata No. 5
Lynn Harrell, cello; Vladimir Ashkenazy, piano
