Transcriber's Note: The poems op.32 were written in 1903. The rst poem remained one of Scriabin's favourite compositions and would appear in most of his piano recitals. The great cellist Gregor Piatigorsky transcribed it for cello and piano a couple of decades later. I owned a copy of the music from age 15 or so but when I eventually decided to learn it I was vexed by the changes Piatigorsky had made to the original score.These include the simpli cation of rhythms dynamics and anything eccentric and typical of Scriabin. During the process of making my own version I soon realised that the middle section did not bene t from beingbroken up into separate lines. While the piano part remains untouched I have borrowed material from the second poem to ll what might otherwise feel like gaps in the cello part (this version can be heard together with pianist Bengt Forsberg on the CD called Smörgåsbord for the Hyperion label). Interestingly the story around the tempestuous second poem had originally been conceived as an aria for a planned opera. As with Brahms and the opening of the E minor sonata op.38 Scriabin uses the word legato rather than indicating this with slurs (see piano part). - Mats Lidström.

Bruch's Kol Nidrei subtitled Adagio on Hebraic themes for Violincello and Piano is another wonderful display of Bruch's mastery at transforming his 'folk tunes' into art music whilst still retaining their folk elements. Composed in 1881 the work is based on two Jewish themes the first an old Hebrew song of atonement and the second is the middle section of the song O Weep for Those That Wept on Babel's Stream. Two beautiful songs made truly magnificent.

Fifteen very playable Cello duets in contrasting styles. These duets have been written with an easier second Cello part and a more demanding first Cello part. Not too demanding in most cases so that roles can be reversed.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. With his cello technique Pablo Casals set standards new at the time, and with his interpretation and warm, singing tone he helped even little, improbable compositions achieve great effectiveness. By means of his interpretative art he rescued Bach's Cello Suites from oblivion, and he occupied himself with them throughout his life, fascinating his public with his renditions of these suites over and over in new ways./ Répertoire / Violoncelle
