Pieter Wispelwey - In Memoriam II - the Scordatura Album - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

?InchThis Scordatura Album is the second In Memoriam album in honour of my son Dorian. It features two illustrious masterpieces written for cello in alternative, darker tunings the Bach Suite with the top string lowered by a whole tone and the Kodály Sonata with the two bottom strings lowered by a semitone. Both pieces are fierce, resilient and profound and although painted in dark colours, they comfort us with their show of sheer musical power and luminous inventiveness.Inch Stark statement of repertoire filled with personal significance and universal beauty. Unparalleled preformance of Kodály's sonata for cello solo. Pieter combines intense energy and emotional connection in his interpretation of the pieces. Album Tracks 3. Sonata for Solo Cello, Op. 8~III. Allegro molto vivace 7. Cello Suite No. 5 in C minor, BWV 1011~IV. Sarabande 10. Cello Suite No. 3, Op. 87~IX. Passacaglia
