Denmark has produced quite a few world class cellists and Henrik Brendstrup is among the very best of them. The rave reviews for the earlier releases of Brendstrup (KPT32007 Mendelssohn/Complete Cello Works, KPT32026 Chopin/Works for Cello and Piano and KPT32088 Peter Heise/ Complete Cello Sonatas) include “ Voici un disque tout à fait remarquable....superbe!” from the French DIAPASON which gave Brendstrup’s debut
CD the seal of “Diapason d’Or”.
Here with the cello works by Gubaidulina, Brendstrup shows his powerful “contemporary” side. The solo pieces on this CD constitute the only complete collection available presently.
