About This Item
Today, Frédéric Lodéon is probably best known as a man of the media, whose culture and sense of humour have done so much on the French airwaves and TV to spread the knowledge of classical music to a wider audience.The former student of Navarra and Rostropovich is first and perhaps foremost an immense cellist, endowed with phenomenal means, refined musicality and an impetuous temperament. Covering a broad spectrum of concerto and chamber music for cello, his discographic legacy for Erato and EMI, collected here for the first time and including numerous CD premieres, is a tribute to his flamboyant style.
