long shot, but by any chance do you know any decent post-1900 cello-centric pieces, sooty?

LJ, you are asking the wrong person I am afraid. I wish BB_Eye who made this thread is still around.

But I am passing Covent Garden today. There is a group of student, regularly busking, playing mainly Bach. I will ask them.

I will come back to TiBB late tonight.:blush:

Ah, don't worry about it! Thanks for the pieces though! :bigsmile: Hadn't heard the Lees one before!

Have a good time at Covent Garden

Hello LJ

The group of busker was not student, but professional! (wedding etc.)

Normally I would not think I stop and listen any of busker, but today I waited for them to finish performing.

I asked a member who was playing cello gave me the following information;

* Prokofiev, sonata op. 119
* Peter Sculthorpe "Threnody" or requiem for solo cello

They were playing my kind of music, popular and short!:hugesmile:
Mozart, Bach, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Offenbach (yes, Can-Can:hugesmile:), and Scottish folk song, etc.

Thanks to you, LJ, I did have a nice time.

you absolute doll, sooty :lovedup: thanks so much! that's really, really sweet of you :love:

just listened to them, really beautiful pieces and really helpful! particularly loved the Prokofiev and Tishchenko (the latter whom I've never heard of before!)

Thanks so much again!

Oh you are very welcome, LJ.
I was just around that area yesterday. I am so pleased.:blush:

This march reminds me of Charles and Diana's wedding.....:sad:

Finlandia and Apres midi d'un faune :lovedup:
