The Virtuoso Cello
Works by Chopin, Fauré, Servais, Saint-Saëns
Joel Krosnick, cello
The music for cello by Adrien Servais (1807-1866) is at once lyrical
and brilliant; he uses all registers in superb vocal writing as well
as in breathtaking cellistic wizardry. It is a light, quickly inflected
cello, yet capable of the most dramatic gestures. Featured on this recording
are his "Three Grand Fantasies for Cello and Piano" (including
themes from The Barber of Seville), and several virtuoso encore pieces.
Joel Krosnick is accompanied on this recording by pianist Cameron Grant.
Catalog: MAR 3117
"Servais, the virtuoso of his day - the Paganini of the cello…very
effectively and brilliantly performed by Krosnick… with skill,
wit and charm. Krosnick's performances are in the right vain as well
as technically excellent, admirably seconded by Cameron Grant."
- Stereo Review
"Joel Krosnick is a wizard in his instrument, and the pianist
provides fine support" - The New Records
