Great Cello music Part 2


I learned about David Darling on an earlier thread (whose music I enjoy a lot). I have Dave Holland's Life Cycle which has become one of my all time favorites. Are there any other recommendations that come to mind? I'm mostly interested in the genre that straddles Jazz and Classical.

Not sure if this is what you're after or not but Anja Lechner ( of the Rosamunde Quartet) has put out 2 albums with Vassilis Tsabropoulos ( piano) of music that certainly fits the genre you're after."Chants,Hymns and Dances" ( ECM New Series 1888) and "Melos" ( ECM 2048)RA both hauntingly evocative , beautiful albums based on the music of both Tsabropoulos and Gurdjieff.Tsbropoulos is a Greek , classically trained pianist who now inhabits the jazz world comfortably ( in a similar vein to Ketil Bjornstad).Lechner's style is classical in structure but she adapts to the slighly different fare with aplomb. So not solo cello music but with a stong cello component. You mention David darling - I assume you've checked out "Epigraphs", his duet with Bjornstad.
