Description
'Best of Cello Classics' features 15 renowned performance pieces for cello and piano spanning four centuries. The Baroque selections include a continuous bass line. In addition to well-known compositions and 'classics' such as the celebrated sonatas by Breval (C major), de Fesch (D minor), Vivaldi (E minor), and Saint-Saëns' 'The Swan' from 'The Carnival of Animals', this collection also presents lesser-known works, including Recercada primera by Ortiz, sonatas by Cirri and Romberg, along with delightful character pieces by Lee, Goltermann, Nölck, and Trowell. Most of the pieces can be performed primarily in the first four positions, while those requiring notes in higher positions remain accessible for players.
