WORLD: Australian, CLASSICAL: Traditional



Details:
In September 1997 I gave a series of 4 concerts of the Suites for solo cello by https://www.tradebit.comh in the Cathedral Chamber of the Jenolan Caves in Australia, a complex of many limestone caves.
This chamber is said to be the space with probably the purest acoustics in the world, offering also a great atmosphere and beauty. The concerts proved so spectacular, that in January 1999 the series was repeated, this time with an extended program of medieval to Romantic music and compositions written especially for the acoustics of the Cathedral Chamber.
Concerts continue regularly to today, with more than 100 cello concerts having been performed.
This CD was recorded in the Cathedral Chamber in July 2000.
