This recital features music by Eastern European and South American composers. What do these composers have in common? Their music is rooted deeply in folk traditions, at times fiery, always soulful, and expressed through the unique voices of each of the six composers. All six chose to write for the cello and piano duo, calling forth the songfulness, soulfulness, virtuosity, and special colors inherent in both instruments, together and apart.
Featuring the music of Czech composers Vítězslava Kaprálová and Leoš Janáček, Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk, Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera, and Mexican composers Arturo Márquez and Manuel M. Ponce, performers Robert Reed and Timothy Cheek take us on a journey through beautiful landscapes, captivating rhythms, and countless emotions.
