Description
Cello virtuosity reigns on 'Capriccioso' from Grammy-nominated Antonio Meneses - one of today's most esteemed cellists - who plays works by cellists written for cellists, including Caprices by Piatti, and Etudes by Popper and the brothers Jean-Louis and Jean-Pierre Duport.
He harks back to his predecessors - a quartet of European cellists who composed dazzling works for their own instrument. At the heart of the album are 12 Caprices by 19th century Italian cellist Carlo Alfredo Piatti, as well as his Capriccio sopra un tema della Niobe Di Pacini (Caprice on a Theme from Pacini's "Niobe". Antonio adds the Bohemian-born David Popper's Etude No. 29, and bookeneds the album with etudes by the French brothers Jean-Louis and Jean-Pierre Duport.
Personnel: Antonio Meneses (cello)
Critical acclaim for Antonio Meneses:
"The commanding Brazilian virtuoso Antonio Meneses surmounts every hurdle with ease." - Gramophone (on the Grammy-nominated Gál and Elgar Cello Concertos)
"Meneses takes his place alongside the greats." - The Sunday Times, Classical CD of the Week (on Haydn Cello Concertos)
"Meneses' playing is remarkably refined and subtle - AllMusic.com (on Beethoven Complete Works for Piano and Cello with Menahem Pressler)
"Meneses is at the top of his form...a beautiful velvet tone, flawless technique, and a musical instinct that never lets him down. His playing is invariably noble, correctly inflected, and fluent" - Fanfare (on Bach Six Cello Suites)
