Type: CD
Subcollection: Piano and Cello

Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata - written "in the style of a concerto" - has long been considered one of the great challenges in the chamber music repertoire. Here a recently discovered transcription by the composer's pupil and friend Carl Czerny receives its world premiere recording by the distinguished partnership of Raphael Wallfisch and John York.
Coupled with Beethoven's own transcription of his Horn Sonata and the rarely heard 'Eyeglass' Duet with Yuko Inoue, this Cd fulfils Cello Classics' remit to bring rare and neglected repertoire to the world stage.

Charles Medlam (bass viol)


Exploring the 50 years of French music that influenced J.S Bach’s Six Cello Suites

Four suites for solo bass viol performed on an instrument of the period

Bach’s Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello are the most popular and well known solo cello works ever written. They have become some of the most inspirational and influential compositions written for the instrument.

But where did Bach take his inspiration from? In the half a century before the Cello Suites the European musical world was dominated by the Italian and French styles. It was in France (1650 to 1700) that the form for these Suites was being honed to perfection by composers writing for the bass viol. Le Sieur Dubuisson and Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe were two of the most prolific composers writing for the viol in the 17th Century. Sainte-Colombe was taught by Nicolas Hotman who, in turn, taught Marin Marais. Sainte-Colombe was a celebrated master of the instrument and is the composer of no less than 67 concerts à deux violles and 170 pieces for solo seven string viol. Nicolas Hotman and Le Sieur De Machy studied the viol together and in their own ways had a major influence on the development and stabilisation of the dance suite for solo bass instrument during the latter part of the 17th Century.

However, it was Marin Marais who bridged the gap between the late 17th century and the early 18th century up to and during the writing of Bach’s masterpieces. Marais, an incomparable French gambist whose works are known in all of Europe, left us one of the most important and influential bodies of music for the instrument.

CHARLES MEDLAM studied the cello in London, Paris, Vienna and Salzburg before becoming interested in the bass viol and early performing styles. After a year lecturing and playing in the resident string quartet at the Chinese University of Hong Kong he returned to Europe and studied with Maurice Gendron at the Paris Conservatoire, Wolfang Herzer in Vienna and subsequently cello with Heidi Litschauer and performance practice with Nikolaus Harnoncourt in Salzburg. After graduating with distinction from the Mozarteum he pursued his interest in the viol on frequent courses with Wieland Kuijken. He founded London Baroque with Ingrid Seifert in 1978.

Charles plays baroque music on a Perugian cello made by Finnocchi circa 1720 and later music on a Lorenzo Ventapane made in Naples in 1806. His bass viol is an English instrument from around 1680, possibly by Barak Norman, which has had a seventh string added for the French repertoire.

Fleur de Lys is a fascinating exploration of beautiful and rarely-heard repertoire.

This recording is an important historical document charting the evolution of the classical suite.

Helen Brammen (flute), Elena Artemonova (viola)

The solo piano music of Ives represents an extraordinary achivement. "Experimental" is a word often associated with it. But "experimental" in what sense? Certainly he was exploring a wholly unique and personal style. Ives' music is by turns, exploratory, powerful, sensitive and transcendental always wholly consistent within its own, sometimes highly unusual terms. These qualities are there in abundance in his two crowning achievements the first and second sonatas. The studies and others orbit round these like planets to twin suns.

SCHUBERT AND BRAHMS - GEORGI BADEV, viola - BOJIDAR NOEV, piano

SCHUBERT AND BRAHMS - GEORGI BADEV, viola - BOJIDAR NOEV, piano
ID: GD172

Type: CD
Subcollection: Piano

The programme features recordings of three works by Schubert and Brahms performed by the well-known Bulgarian musicians Georgi Badev and Bojidar Noev. Georgi Badev, who usually plays the violin, is occasionally tempted to play the viola. The musical instrument has been specially made for him by Bulgaria's most famous violin and viola maker and its sound is of highly satisfactory quality. Franz Schubert's masterpiece Sonata "Arpeggione" is a challenge for all artists who venture to perform this work of the early German Romanticism. The duo's interpretation of the piece is strikingly moving and filled with melody, harmonic beauty and virtuosity. It carries the spirit of the age of Classicism, which Schubert was so fond of. Brahms' two Sonatas Op. 120 are among the composer's last works. They unite his poetic, lyrical and deeply emotional feelings and express his emotional trepidation. The two performers overcome with ease and virtuosity the technical and ensemble difficulties that the two works present. The rec
