Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Harmonia Mundi's series Les Nouveaux Interprètes aims to bring us "the cream of the new generation of musicians", and no listener to this CD will deny the appropriateness of the appearance of the young French cellist Emmanuelle Bertrand amid that company. Her recital is devoted to solo cello music of the 20th century, and two interpretations stand out in particular as having the composer's blessing: those of the inventive Trois strophes sur le nom de SACHER (1976-82) by Henri Dutilleux, and the more conventional but still finely written Suite No.4 (1994-6) by Nicolas Bacri, which is dedicated to Bertrand and was premiered by her. Here and in the other works--which comprise the engaging and characterful Serenade (1949) by Hans Werner Henze, the impressive Sonata (1955) by the American individualist George Crumb, and the powerful, folk-influenced early Sonata (1948-53) by Ligeti, Bertrand reveals her mastery of tonal variety and creative engagement with her material. Booklet documentation on these rather esoteric pieces is weak but all the works are worth getting to know, especially in performances such as these. --George Hall
