The cello works of the London-born Stephen Dodgson present the musical personality of this much-loved composer in a nutshell. Dodgson's style is direct but rich in allusion with a lively, sometimes brittle, sense of humor, adding a Shostakovich-like irony. The remarkable clarity of the instrumental textures underline a strong sense of narrative, with the cello almost as a human voice, unfolding it's story with understated passion. Evva Mizerska is a cello lecturer at Morley College and Emma Abbate, a professor at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, formed in 2003, the Evva*Emma Duo has performed in many European countries.
