Tansman Cello Quartet – Poesia [CD]

Why Poesia? Because this album explores the cello as a lyrical instrument, with resonances close to the human voice. From the bel canto of Mercadante, a little-known but refined opera composer, to Vanherenthals’ flamboyant Rhapsody on the Themes of Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier, each work evokes the vocal universe, sometimes with modesty, sometimes with exuberance.

1. Poesia
2. Adagio and Scherzo for four cellos
3. Souvenir de Curis
4. Konzertwalzer, Op. 31
