Andante Cantabile: Cello Encores
Lynn Harrell (cello) / Bruno Canino (piano)

[ Australian Decca SBS Eloquence / CD ]

Release Date: Monday 8 May 2006

"Readers who have followed me this far probably need very little acumen to realise that I have enjoyed this disc enormously. "Light music" it may be, but light music is not synonymous with cheap music and performed with such musicality and conviction even the most hackneyed of pieces are shown in a new light."
(MusicWeb Sept 2006)

As he explains in his liner notes for this CD, Lynn Harrell uses the voice as his point of departure for this collection of encores. They are largely reflective pieces, with a bit of fun such as the unfairly forgotten Glazunov Spanish Serenade thrown in for good measure, and this once popular disc now makes a return to the catalogue, at budget price.
