Par LIEBMAN DAVID. Ode for Leo is based on Steven Foster´s Beautiful Dreamer. Using the melody as a framework, this tonal piece spotlights the wonderful agility of the solo cello throughout its extraordinary range. Compositional devices used include question and answer, fugal type dialogue and an ostinato by both the cello and solo instrument. The feeling evoked should be emotional, but not sentimental. / Niveau : Avancé / performance score / Répertoire / Saxophone Soprano ou Ténor et Violoncelle

Par VINE CARL. Composed for Steven Isserlis in 2004, Carl Vine's Cello Concerto is an exhilarating 20-minute work that traverses a vast emotional palette.  The Concerto begins arrestingly, with soloist pitted against orchestra, though as it develops the two factions move towards union. A slow chorale led by the cellist frames the central section, whilst relentless motor rhythms drive the work to its close./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Orchestre
