Notes on the pieces:

ALLEGRO APPASSIONATO: SAINT-SAENS A composit ion which is in every cellist's repertoire, and rightly so for its e nthusiasm

drives on from fir1t note to last.

APRES UN REVE: FAURE This haunting me lody is so well suited to the ce llo that it is today probably heard

more often than in iu original song ver1ion,which wa s composed in 1865 to words by Bussine.

ARIOSO: BACH Although the Arioso is now famous as a cello soiD, it began life as a piece for oboe with string accompaniment in Bach's Cantata No.1 56. Its sinuous melodic: line is well suited to the ce llo.

ELEGIE: FAURE This masterpiece was composed in 1883. It is a beautiful won: which shows Faur~·s great gift for

writing miniatures. The broad sweep of the main theme exploits the cello's elegiac qualities.

KOL NIDREI: BRUCH Kol Niclrei ;s based on two Hebraic themes • one a M artfelt ~ment in the minor key, the other a

celmial melody in the major. Bnxh's lyrical writing for the ceUo is unsurpassed.

THE SWAN: SAINT-SAENS The Swan (le Cygne) from l e Camaval des Animaux is surety t he most famous pie<:t> of

musk ~ written for the cello. For many year1 it was the only piect> from the work which Saint-Satos woukt allow to be published separately.

SONG WITHOUT WORDS: MENDELSSOHN This was Mende/uohn's very last composition, a nd it is not an arrangement of

Ol"'e of the famous Songs Without won» for piano but an original piece for ceflo and piano. -., - oiMously drown to tho cello as he hod pt'OOOu>ly written :wo

fno ..,._, Ia< tho im1n1rn<nL I only he hod wnae> a mnano!

Notes on the pieces:

ALLEGRO APPASSIONATO: SAINT-SAENS A composition which is in every cellist 's repertoire, and rtghtly so for its enthusiasm

drives on from first note to last.

APRES UN REVE: FAURE This haunting melody is so well suited to the <ello that it is today probably heard

more oftE>n than in its original song version,whi<h was composed in 1865 to words by Bussine.

ARIOSO: BACH Although the Arioso is now famous as a cello solo, it bE'gan life as a piece for oboe with string accompaniment in Bach's Cantata No.1 56. Its sinuous melodic line is well suited to the cello.

ELEGIE: FAURE Tt1is masterpiece was composed in 1883. It is a beautiful work which shows Faure's great g ift for

writing miniatures. The broad sweep of the main theme exploits the cello's elegiac qualities.

KOL NIDREI: BRUCH Kol Nidrei is based on two Hebraic themes - one a heartfelt lament in the m inor key, the other a

celestial melody in the major. Bruch's lyrical writing for the cello is unsurpassed .

THE SWAN: SAINT-SAENS Tt1e Swan (Le CY9ne) from Le Camaval des Animaux: is surely the most famous piece of

musk ever written for the cello. For many years it was the only pie<e from the work which Saint-Sa@m would allow to be publish~ separately.

SONG WITHOUT WORDS: MENDELSSOHN This was Mendelssohn's very last composition, and it is not an arrangement of

one of the famous Songs Without Words for piano but an original piece for cello and p iano. Mendelssohn w as obviously drawn to the cello as he had previously written two

fine sonatas for the instrument. If only he had wrine., ~ corce"to!
