Manuel Lipstein - Manuel Lipstein: Roots

Manuel Lipstein's debut album juxtaposes expressive and virtuoso cello works of the modern era with the refined fantasies of the old master Georg Friedrich Telemann. Hindemith composed his expressive and extremely varied solo sonata within just a few days as part of a bet with fellow composers. Eric Feldbusch's suite 'Mosaique' consists of expressive improvisations based on traditional Jewish melodies and a lively wedding dance. Written at the age of 15, Lipstein's Four Dream Images are 'free character pieces' based on spontaneous improvisations. Cassado's famous romantic suite based on Catalan folk melodies demonstrates his brilliant virtuosity as a cellist.
