The 4 cellist-composers in this recital share a common background: from musical families they played as soloists in outstanding orchestras and wrote music for the instrument that continues to challenge players of our own time with its virtuosity and intensity. In his Caprices, Piatti fused dazzling technical demands with operatic drama. Fitzenhagens Concert Waltzes make prolonged use of the upper register, and in contrast Klengels Hymnus is a sonorously beautiful elegy for 12 cellists.
