Alban Gerhardt, Bonnie Hampton, Gary Hoffman, Jean-Guihen Queyras, Jan Vogler: some of the cello world’s top names have given their thoughts on key works of string repertoire within The Strad’s pages. Now, for the first time, the 48-page Masterclass: Solo Cello brings together articles from the magazine’s popular Masterclass section over the past nine years.
Cello concertos by Dvořák, Elgar, Schumann and Shostakovich receive detailed bar-by-bar analyses, along with works by Brahms, Mendelssohn and Debussy. Plus, Bonnie Hampton introduces the notes she made more than 50 years ago during her lessons with the great Pablo Casals.
