Catalan Cello Works CASABLANCAS • CASALS • CASSADÓ • GRANADOS • MOMPOU Dmitry Yablonsky, Cello • Laia Martín, Piano
BUY NOW!
The cello was a vital part of Catalan musical expression in the first half of the 20th century. Pablo Casals as composer and cello virtuoso was its revolutionary force, and his student Gaspar Cassadó joined him in writing superb transcriptions and expressive original works with a strong sense of tradition and national melodic flavour. Casablancas’ Cant per a Frederic Mompou ‘Remembrança’ pays homage to another great friend and colleague, while Enrique Granados’s soulful Madrigal is accompanied by delectable arrangements of piano works with cello such as the Goyescas . A digital single featuring more pieces by Casals, Cassadó and Mompou is available on 9.70354.

Zygmunt NOSKOWSKI (1846–1909) Władysław ŻELEŃSKI (1837–1921) Violin Sonatas Laurence Kayaleh, Violin • Bernadene Blaha, Piano
BUY NOW!
Both Zygmunt Noskowski and Władysław Żeleński were leading exponents of Polish nationalism in the period from the last quarter of the 19th century. Noskowski is best remembered as a symphonist but his large-scale Violin Sonata in A minor is an imposing work that suggests the influence both of Beethoven’s ‘Kreutzer’ Sonata and of Brahms. Żeleński was as eminent a teacher as he was a composer, seeking to broaden Poland’s provincial outlook through works such his opera Janek (Naxos 8.660521-22). His Violin Sonata in F major typifies the essentially conservative idiom that Żeleński pursued in his maturity.

Billy Arcila, raised in Medellín, Colombia, has lived in the United States for over 40 years, where he teaches and performs as one of California’s foremost guitarists. This album, the first to be made of Arcila’s music, contains works ranging across his entire compositional life, from his first published work to the most recent. Interspersed with the music of other admired composers which exploit nationalist elements, such as the bambuco and pasillo rhythms, Arcila’s autobiographical guitar music embraces the nostalgic, the verdant and the vibrant. Key Feature: This is the first album devoted to Colombian-born but long-time American resident Billy Arcila . He is considered one of Southern California’s prominent classical guitarists. He studied with William Kanengiser and Scott Tennant, members of the GRAMMY Award winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. He has also studied the Baroque guitar and vihuela, a historic precursor to the guitar, an interest that deepened during his studies in Spain.
