Par WUORINEN CHARLES. Charles Wuorinen\'s Second Piano Trio was found on his desk at the time of his passing in March 2020. A single, nine-minute movement, it is characterized by a complex, lively rhythmic interplay between the three instruments, in particular a wittily repeated figure of sixteenth-note quintuplets. Upon reviewing Wuorinen\'s third and final draft for this piece posthumously, thre…

Par KNUSSEN OLIVER. Oliver Knussen's concise and effervescent Eccentric Melody occupies a small but important place in the solo cello repertoire, and would enliven any recital.

Par BROUWER LEO. Composed in 1960 and revised in 1994, this wonderfully lyrical solo Sonata offers a substantial challenge to the performing Cellist. The piece has a three-part structure, with a lively and playful central Scherzo flanked by two exciting Allegro movements, with melodic material that ranges from a clipped pizzicato to a rapid tremolo. A superb showcase that explores the full range o…

Par CHAUSSON ERNEST. Chausson's 'Piece Op.39', the composer's only work for solo cello, was written during his final years and belongs with the intensity lyrical Poeme for violin and orchestra (1896) and the two quartets (1897 and 1899). Like these more 'classical' late works, 'Piece' derives potency from its restrained lyricism, but is rhythmically unusual with 5/4 and 7/4 the predominant time si…

Cello and Piano. Par SQUIRE WILLIAM HENRY. William Henry Squire's Gondoliera for cello and piano evokes the dreamy magic of Venice and the barcarolles of Chopin, Fauré, Liszt and Mendelssohn.
