about

Rohan de Saram, Cello
A Harrison House release

Recorded in the acoustically stunning "great room" at Harrison House, designed and built by composer Lou Harrison.

Excerpts from Rohan de Saram's notes on J.S. Bach’s Suite no.VI in D major, for solo cello and Zoltan Kodaly's Sonata for solo cello Op.8.

J.S. Bach’s (1685-1750) Suite no.VI in D major, for solo cello

J.S. Bach’s sixth cello suite was written for the five-stringed viola pomposa, which had an extra top string tuned to E above the top A string of the cello. This instrument is said to have been invented by Bach himself. In addition to being the largest of the six Suites for cello, it is also the most “virtuosic” and in D major, Bach’s key of jubilation.

Zoltan Kodaly (1882-1967): Sonata for solo cello Op.8 (Budapest 1915)

I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to play this work to Kodaly himself on one of his visits to Oxford in 1960. It was a monumental experience because I consider this to be one of the greatest works written for solo cello since Bach wrote his cello Suites approximately two hundred years earlier.
