Haydn Connections, vol.4 (2022)

Haydn Connections, vol.4

As the viola da gamba gave way to the cello, composers explored the modern instrument′s powerful sonority in myriad ways. One such exploration was Haydn′s deployment of the instrument as an equal partner in ensemble dialogue, which revolutionized the art of string writing. The cello′s full range of expressive possibilities would inspire compositions centuries hence, such as Alexandre Tansman′s Two Movements for Four Cellos and Alexander Glazunov′s majestic String Quintet. Debussy′s Sonata for Violin and Piano showcases both instruments′ rich and varied color palettes, and Volume 4 concludes with a special recording of Rachmaninov, arranged by Dmitri Atapine for cello choir and performed by fourteen of the 2022 festival cellists.
