Isserlis, Shih - A Golden Cello Decade, 1878-1888 

Steven Isserlis has curated another typically imaginative recital, in which all the works datein one guise or anotherfrom an especially fruitful decade in the history of the cello.

"Isserlis's lockdown project is a fascinating collection of interconnected solo cello pieces: Bach, the Russian master-cellist, and Isserlis himself are the links...but the Britten Suite is the meatiest item here: truly a "meditation" on death, as Isserlis calls it, and played with a technical and musical conviction worthy of its creators."
