What I play

If you are looking for a certain piece and it is not there, ask if I might be willing to learn it - in most cases I will. The time when a cellist's repertoire was limited to two handfuls of pieces has long gone. I am constantly learning new works and enjoy doing so, although I have certain objections towards some contemporary pieces in which I cannot find the urge to communicate or which require me to use the cello as a percussion instrument. Even with nearly 50 cello concertos in my repertoire now, there are still a number of works that I have never played but would love to. If you are a conductor or orchestra manager and want to do the Bliss or Sullivan Concertos, one of the Vieuxtemps or Popper Concertos, do not hesitate to ask!

The list below is an indication of what I have done, although I think neiter the duo nor the chamber music lists are complete.
