Our Take

MICHAEL / TONG's latest offering, "Brahms / Cello Sonatas," is a whimsical journey through the classical realm that is sure to leave you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure. The duo, comprised of virtuoso cellist Michael and pianist Tong, tackle Brahms' iconic cello sonatas with a refreshing and slightly off-kilter approach that is as endearing as it is perplexing.

From the outset, Michael's cello playing is a masterclass in emotion and technical prowess, effortlessly navigating the complex melodies and intricate harmonies of Brahms' compositions with an almost reckless abandon. Tong's piano accompaniment provides the perfect counterpoint, weaving in and out of Michael's melodies with a mischievous charm that keeps the listener on their toes.

Tracks like "Sonata No. 1 in E Minor" showcase the duo's playful dynamic, with Michael's cello gliding and soaring over Tong's intricate piano lines with an infectious energy that is impossible to resist. Meanwhile, slower and more introspective tracks like "Sonata No. 2 in F Major" reveal a more contemplative side to the duo, with Michael's cello singing like a melancholic bird over Tong's delicate piano accompaniment.

Overall, "Brahms / Cello Sonatas" is a delightful romp through the classical canon that is sure to win over even the most sceptical of listeners. MICHAEL / TONG have crafted a truly unique and unforgettable listening experience that is equal parts charming, intriguing, and downright bonkers. Don't miss out on this gem of an album - it's a wild ride from start to finish!
