Cello Music By French Composers From Couperin To Debussy

Beskrivning

The pieces contained in this album encompass 300 years of French music, ranging from the gamba music of the Baroque period to the impressionism of Debussy. While the technical difficulties encountered in these selections seldom go beyond the intermediate level, the interpretation requires versatility from the performer. The seventeenth century compositions should be played with crisp articulation and an incisive rhythm. The romantic pieces require a rich, full tone, whereas the selections by Faure and Debussy should be treated with subtlety of phrasing and tonal refinement.
