Search - Ashley Sidon :: Concert Gems for Violoncello

While only a handful of masterpieces constitute the crown jewels of literature for the cello, many worthy compositions of a smaller scope comprise the lesser gems and are often included on recital programs for variety and enrichment. This recording presents a wide range of these compositions, some of which are transcriptions, which add breadth to the standard available literature. From the baroque works of Couperin and Handel to the meditative works of Ernest Bloch and Arvo Pärt to the irresistible tango of Ástor Piazzolla, these works add variety, grace and beauty to the cellist s concert fare.
