DACOCD 871 [ADD]

Never before released rare European Radio recordings
Danacord continues its tribute to the Danish cellist Erling Blöndal Bengtsson with previously unpublished recordings from the archives of the BBC and German radio. There is cello music dedicated to Bengtsson’s mentor Piatigorsky and chamber music by Mozart and Offenbach with fellow friends and colleagues. His stylishness, distinctive timbre and subtle colours, as well as his trademark impeccable intonation, may be enjoyed in full.
