Digital Booklet
|
"Five Stars. Walton fully conveys the music’s raw emotional power, yet also retains an appropriate sense of dancing jocularity. A musical triumph, captured in first-rate sound."
- Sinfini Music
"Walton's musical thought continues to deepen, with each movement taking the listener further into the tangle of complexities that the music has to offer, (his spirited performance) closely channelling Rostropovich himself."
- Gramophone
Released in 2013 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Benjamin Britten's birthday, this collection includes all three suites for solo cello, performed by star UK cellist Jamie Walton. The composer dedicated these suites to Rostropovich, with the passionate Third in particular inspired by Rostropovich’s rich and romantic performances of Bach’s unaccompanied suites.
