Cello Music!

[thelevellers]

Ok, I guess this is the right place for this... Either here or the Bar?!? Lol.

Anyway, my sister plays the cello and is looking for some new music to play, so with Christmas coming up i think great! Present sorted! Until I realise that I don't know enough music that makes use of cellos :S So, anyone able to recommend a collection of cello music worth looking for? certain songs? Anything?!?!

Cheers, Rohan

Hey Rohan

Do you know what grade she is?

Elgar's Cello Concerto ? I saw this performed Saturday Evening. Mind you, the soloist had been playing it for 23 years so no small task to undertake.

If you find nothing, try the FiddleForum: all string players there.

I love this cello player.

A bit like a french singing Tori Amos with a cello.

Erm, no idea what grade I'm afraid... I think I might give that string's forum a shot - thanks Rudi!

Lol, I think I might go poke my dad about it as well, he'll know what level she is, I suspect Elgar's is beyond her, though you never know!

That must be the longest solo in history?

Well, if she's interested in something completely different, I have a bluegrass song that needs a cello part. I've been looking for an interested cello player (celloist? cellist?) for years.

Hight "Welcome to Hebo Waltz," and a recording of just me and solo guitar is on my Soundclick page. URL is (if I can remember right how the protocol goes):

Should she hear something, and be interested, please let me know. Thanks.

Erm, well she doesn't have access to recording gear, and is quite busy, so I'm guessing a no I'm afraid... I will try and remember to mention it next time I get in touch, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you!

Check out a band called Apocalyptica .. not sure if it's your cup of tea but they are amazing.
