This album marks the solo debut of Ensemble Diderot cellist Gulrim Choi and contains several World Premiere Recordings. Faithful to the values of the ensemble, she looks at a facet of a repertoire that has been neglected over time.
It is pre-classical music from northern Germany that she decides to highlight, through four chamber cello concertos some of which have never been recorded before.
This program aims to reveal the various attractions of a nascent aesthetic, sometimes retracing its steps, sometimes radically asserting itself.
This program aims to reintegrate these works into the repertoire of the curious cellist, and to unveil other resonances of the pre-classical German landscape.
