Pre-eminent cellist Alban Gerhardt joins Aurora Orchestra for a glittering conversation across the centuries: Vivaldi was first to recognise the soulful quality of the solo cello; Britten and Ravel pay homage to their Baroque forebears, while Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky were inspired to fantastical virtuosic heights by the elegant exuberance of the ‘rococco’ masters.
‘A magician of cantabile playing and a master of virtuosic panache – one of the best cellists alive’ Tagesspiegel
