Kati Raitinen & Bengt Forsberg - A tribute to curiosity (2022)

Kati Raitinen and Bengt Forsberg describe their approach to the three works on this CD as a "journey of discovery". Literally they say: "On this musical journey pleasure was the dominant feeling, together with a certain wonder that these compositions are not better known." The cello sonatas of Emilie Maria von Bach (1896-1978), Henriëtte Bosmans (1895 -1952) and Rita Strohl (1865-1941) are also unknown among connoisseurs of cello literature - but wrongly so, as this recording shows. This is also how the title of this CD should be understood: A TRIBUTE TO CURIOSITY - a homage to the thirst for knowledge.
