The Cello Sonata in F Op. 99 was composed in 1886, during the first of three idyllic summers Brahms spent near Lake Thun, in Switzerland. Four symphonies and three string quartets were now behind him, and the ghost of Beethoven seems finally to have been laid. A new confidence is apparent from the sonata's opening bars: a fragmented, rhetorical theme on the cello, supported by tremolando piano chords, establishes a mood at once heroic and ardent. The Adagio (in the remote key of F sharp major) exploits a wide range of instrumental colour, including some memorable use of pizzicato. The restless emotionalism of the third movement harks back to the passionate scherzos of Brahms's youth, but the concluding rondo's principal theme abounds in good-natured optimism.

These masterful performances — timeless in their aesthetic for all their seventy years of seniority — invite a new examination of our notions regarding musical 'style'. Pierre Fournier's aristocratic 'classical' interpretative manner provides an eloquent common ground in bringing forth the radiant spirituality that illuminate Johannes Brahms. The characterful presence of Wilhelm Backhaus in the Brahms Sonata further distils the essential sobriety of these spartan but eloquent interpretations. Here the music is presented with a minimum of fuss and flourish: Brahms the Classicist is to the fore by way of tempos that adhere to the golden mean (there is, on the one hand, a purposeful avoidance of portentous deliberation in the 'slow' movements and, on the other, of rash precipitation in the 'fast' ones); the use of rubato is similarly discreet and of the most conservative nature; and Backhaus favours a dry-point engraver's sonority that mostly eschews the use of sustaining pedal and instead focuses attention on the purely architectonic aspects of the writing. But the paradoxical result of all this apparent self-effacement is to make the piercing sincerity and expressiveness of these true collaborations all the more affecting.
