In 1994 at the age of 17 cellist Natalie Clein won the Young Musician of the Year contest and was the first British winner of the Eurovision Competition for Young Musicians. She did not rush into a solo recording career, but concentrated on studies with the great cellist and conductor Heinrich Schiff, as well as developing an international concert reputation performing with top orchestras and collaborating with superstars such as Martha Argerich, Ian Bostridge and Steven Isserlis.A decade on Clein has issued her first solo recording, broaching the challenging central romantic repertoire of Brahms; two cello sonatas, together with Schubert's Arpeggione sonata. Accompanied by rising piano star Charles Owen the result is a disc which belies the relative youth of its performers with music-making not only of great lyrical beauty, but also of mature thoughtfulness and unguarded intimacy. A most rewarding debut recital which points to an outstanding career ahead.
