Ghedini / Shugaev / Uryupin- Cello Concerto / L'olmeneta (CD)
The composers of these 20th-century Italian works were all associated with the cello from a young age. Their deep understanding of the instrument reveals itself in three contrasting concertante pieces where soloist and orchestra collaborate to explore a wide range of colors and moods, and whose slow movements are among the most beautiful each composer ever wrote. Malipiero viewed the soloist in his concertos as a voice rising in a crowd; the mysterious and autumnal L'Olmeneta is the largest and most individual of Ghedini's cello works; and Casella's Notturno e tarantella is a sunny piece, expertly orchestrated.
