Cello – Paul Watkins

These suites were the product of Britten's friendship with the great Russian cellist Rostropovich. They are a bit of an anomaly as he devoted most of his mature career to vocal music, particularly opera composition. Its not entirely fair to say that Britten makes the cello 'sing' - playing a role that would be occupied by the human voice - but his vocal preoccupations inform these suites. These is lovely, subtle music that repays relistening. Watkins' performance is excellent.
