Preface Book 2 (C126)
Another Volume in this highly acclaimed series, Cellowise 2 includes Lacrimosa by Mozart, Paganini’s La Campanella, Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet, Brahms Waltzes Op. 39 and Bach’s Gavotte en Rondeau from Violin Partita in E made famous by Segovia.
From the drama and spectacle of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet to the reflective chiaroscuro of the Brahms Waltzes, the fireworks of Paganini's La Campanella and Bach's colourful variations in the Gavotte en Rondeau, this Volume offers a dramatic new set from the Classics which fully exploits the cello's lyrical and dynamic qualities.
