专辑简介

Entrez, le Diable! reconstructs the meteoric rise of the cello as a solo instrument in eighteenth century France, as played-out upon the stage of the prestigious series of concerts known as the Concert Spirituel. From the dazzling dueling virtuosity of Lanzetti and Berteau, to the outrageous extended techniques of Martin, to the stylistic metamorphosis of Barrière, Ms. Soltis casts new light on a moment lost in time—when an emergent generation of cellist-composers burst onto the scene with an explosion of innovation and experimentation unprecedented in the history of the cello in France.
