The Suite No. 6 for Cello solo by Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the trickiest pieces to play because it was written for a cello with 5 strings. Today most people play it on the instrument they have which means only 4 strings like seen in this video. Hence the difficulty.

Kodaly’s beautiful hungarian style duet is undoubtedly one of the most important contributions to the repertoire for the duo violin/cello. Here you can hear and watch it as my wife Paula Novoa (violin) and myself (cello) play it in Fribourg.

Giuliani wrote a very beautiful chamber work here. It’s operatic belcanto with just a violin (Christina Gallati), a guitar (Maria Efstathiou) and a cello (Sebastian Diezig).

During rehearsals we played this piece also at very slow speeds. That’s when I realized that the amount of harmony changes is staggering – Wolf must have been more than just your ordinary workaholic composer.

This music is amazing and yet relatively unknown. My orchestra colleagues Christina Gallati (first violin), Keiko Yamaguchi (second violin) as well as my chamber music friends Markus Wieser (viola) and Maria Efstathiou play the colorful masterpiece.

In this video you can see me as I run through the last movement of the beautiful Dvorak Cello Concerto. I am getting ready for my concert with the Orchestre de la Ville et de l’Université de Fribourg under the baton of Alexandru Ianos on May 5 at 17h in the Aula Magna, Avenue de l’Europe 20, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland. Still some minor things to fix but I think I will be fine on the great day.
Hope to see all of you there!
