profile & recordings >>

Poltéra and Stott collaborate regularly in chamber music performances across the world and have recently recorded Faure Cello Sonatas for Chandos.

‘[Christian Poltéra]... is a fine choice of cellist for the two Sonatas. He phrases sensitively and makes the most of the composer's dynamic markings... Kathryn Stott's an ideal partner, managing her pedalling levels to produce a variety of textures.' BBC Music Magazine

'...there's never a dull second in their [Poletéra/Stott] glittering account of the two sonatas and delicious miniatures including, of course, ‘The Swan'. Poltéra's tone is luminous and Stott digs seep into the piano parts; they both sound as if they're enjoying every moment of it.' Jessica Duchen
