Adrian Brendel (solo cello)

Adrian Brendel is one of the most versatile cellists of his generation. He travels the world playing, teaching, curating festivals. He is a member of the Nash Ensemble of London

In The fall of the leaf, written for solo cello in 1963, the gently falling intervals of the melody imbue Imogen’s piece with an autumnal melancholy while leaves fall and swirl… Like many mysterious works of art whose genesis remains unexplained, Bach’s Cello Suites retain the aura of a miracle The second suite is overwhelming sad and wistful but has a very ‘vocal’ feel. The Sarabande is perhaps the saddest moment of the whole cycle of six suites, seeming to be like someone kneeling in rapt prayer.
