Logo Songs from the Cello
Hamilton Cheifetz, cello
"An expressive lyricism reminiscent of Casals
combined with the precision...of Starker" --Fanfare

Songs from the Cello is a remarkably lyrical disc containing the first recordings for cello of nine of the most beloved songs by Schubert and Schumann, transcribed and performed by cellist Hamilton Cheifetz. This eminently listenable program also contains the Aria from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 arranged for cello and guitar, Sonata by Debussy, and pieces by Couperin, Ravel and Falla.
