Description

The Solo Partita was inspired by Baroque models, the solo cello suites of J.S. Bach in particular. As a ‘neo-baroque’ suite it contains three …of the standard movements, Allemande, Sarabande and Gigue and two additional movements, a Prelude and a Bourrée. [Armand Russell] Armand Russell’s compositional style is confident and direct with a clarity of line and texture always to the fore. A modern, yet lyrical and accessible style, has created works which communicate equally to performers and audiences alike and he has made, and continues to make, a unique and valuable contribution to the double bass literature throughout a long and successful career.
