What I play

If you are looking for a certain piece and it is not there, feel free to suggest that I learn it. In most cases I will be happy to do so. The times when a cellist's repertoire was limited to two handfuls of pieces have long gone, therefore I am constantly learning new works and enjoy doing so. However, even with nearly 50 cello concertos under my belt, there are still a number of works that I have not played but would love to. If you are a conductor or orchestra manager and want to do the Bliss or Sullivan Concertos, or one of the Vieuxtemps 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, and works with an asterisk* are available on commercial recordings.
