DACOCD 844 [ADD]

Danacord continues its tribute to the Danish cellist Erling Blöndal Bengtsson. For this volume of recordings emanating from Danish Radio Bengtsson plays two staples of most cellists’ repertoire, masterworks by Shostakovich and Richard Strauss, spicing things up with music by Berio and Ligeti, such choices opening up our perceptions of Bengtsson’s repertoire, and then going further by including concertos dedicated to him.
