The six musical languages that Simone Drescher brings to ‘Cellologue’ on her second album, which is her first solo album, are highly emotional and expressive. The multi-award-winning virtuoso has recorded works that are deeply moving and with which she identifies completely: ‘Cellologue’ is her soul language. The interpreter does not simply perform the music, but lives it with body, soul and mind. Her playing leaves nothing to be desired in terms of intensity and energy, drama, expressiveness and depth, but also, when necessary, lightness and a twinkle in her eye. At the same time, it opens up the sound to silence. It is the silence of everything that cannot be said in words and can only be expressed in music through the silence that the music sometimes creates.
Casal's Suite for solo cello, a romantic homage to his brother Pau/Pablo in Bach's D minor and formally based on his partitas, is characterised by an underlying tragic feeling. Mansurian's Capriccio, which is inspired by Bach's Capriccio in B flat major, is characterised by a lament and then a light farewell motif that ends in silence. In his ‘Book for Cello’, Vasks contrasts the noise and aggression of the world with the attempt ‘to speak about the most important things in life, about love, which are actually “unspeakable”’ (Vasks). The cello is joined, surprisingly, by the cellist's vocalising voice, until both lose themselves in silence at the end. The French composer David Chaillou was inspired by Simone Drescher's interpretation of Vasks' “Grāmata čellam” to compose “L'Oiseau” - and interweaves the melodic line of the cello with the singing of the cellist, who is the dedicatee. The aim of ‘L'Oiseau’ - a premiere recording - is to regain the fluidity of air and breath, to convey the illusion of flight. Tsintsadze's plucked ‘Chonguri’ flies like a dance, while Pau Casal's ‘Song of the Birds’ sings ‘Peace, Peace, Peace’, soaring and heart-rending. The great cellist and discoverer of Bach's cello suites ended his concerts with the Catalan song.
