”The Swedish Cello” is the first entry in Caprice Record’s new bid to release compilations for digital sale only, a campaign with the aim to reach a new audience and make Caprice’s great back catalog available on the digital market.
Exceptions occur, of course, and a couple of them start and finish this big compilation respectively – and big it certainly is, for in the 20th century everything would change! As if there had been a long suppressed need of Swedish cello music, suddenly the masterworks started coming one after the other, and today it’s hard to find any Swedish composer of the last century who didn’t write for the cello. Greats like Lars-Erik Larsson, Gösta Nystroem, Gunnar de Frumerie, and Dag Wirén have all composed a cello concerto each – Hilding Rosenberg wrote two! The chamber and solo repertoire was also expanded rapidly during this time, and the cello’s broad range and enormous sound spectrum seemed to appeal to the modernist and postmodern composers especially.
On these recordings you’ll hear many of Sweden’s finest cellists of the modern times, like Frans Helmersson, Mats Lidström, and Torleif Thedéen, as well as esteemed conductors like Leif Segerstam, Stig Westerberg, and Göran W Nilson.
