Music reviews of Britten: Cello Suites Nos. 1 & 2
Music Review: Meloncholy Beauty
Rating: 5 Stars
This music demonstates the what the cello is capable of doing when pushed to the limits. Britten's compositions call for emotion, expressiveness, but also a wide range of colors. The cello is often plucked, making it sound almost lute-ish. As always with Britten, this music is curiously modern AND romantic at the same time. There is also a certain intimacy about the solo suites where Rostropovich just seems to know the composer's refined English mind so well and express it in his own sad Russian soulful style. It is real meloncholy beauty.
It just goes to show how much can be done with the cello when in teh hands like a master such as Mstislav Rostropovich (and Ben Britten).
