Four Fragments (For Solo Cello)

Four Fragments - For Solo Cello

Huang Ruo

Cast in four continuous movements, Four Fragments is a ravishing and theatrical showpiece that maximizes the cellist�s lyricism and fire, overflowing with declamatory and cadenza-like soliloquys clearly inspired by the composer�s cultural multi-dimensionalism. Ilona Oltuski at blogcritics.org writes, "New York Times critic Alan Kozinn, who keeps a close watch on Ruo�s artistic development, describes the relationship between East and West in Ruo�s music: 'As in many of his scores, Chinese articulation styles � sliding notes and gracefully bending tones � mingle freely with Western moves and diatonic harmonies.'" For advanced cellists. Dur.: 13'30"
