Beethoven's complete cello sonatas with cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and pianist Sviatoslav Richter offers a thrilling supplement to an already famous set of audio recordings (for Philips). The 'bonus' is Richter's commanding performance of what is probably Mendelssohn's greatest piano work, his Variations sérieuses.
