About
Legendary for his accomplishments, musical, scholarly and beyond, Camille Saint-Saëns created an astounding collection of compositions. These pieces for cello and accompaniment must surely rank among his finest achievements.
The composer wrote more than mere pleasant melodies. The demands of Cello Concerto No. 2 are extraordinary, and yield results quite profound. Baroque lyricism and a penchant for drama make Saint-Saëns' orchestral work a delight. The more intimate Cello Sonata No. 2 takes advantage of the rich tonal power of both instrument and soloist.
Renown cellist Steven Isserlis performs with panache befitting his reputation as one of the world's leading cellists. His technique, both technically precise and deeply passionate, brings out the most of Saint-Saëns difficult works.
