Frederic Rosselet - Solo Cello Works: Rosselet

Swiss 'cellist Fr�d�ric Rosselet plays subtly and athletically. He is not a performer who shows off at every opportunity; his is a higher aesthetic. The technical prowess you will hear on this recording rivals the great virtuosi and his recording is on a grand scale. He uses this skill tastefully and reservedly. Fr�d�ric plays two different 'cellos in this recording. A modern 'cello, which he plays in the pieces by Berio, Ligeti and Dutilleux, made about 130 years ago by a student of Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume. For the two Bach suites, Fr�d�ric chose a glorious instrument configured as they would have been played in the Baroque era, without a peg, a lighter sound post on the interior of the instrument, gut strings and a Baroque bow.Fr�d�ric took First Place in Bach Solo Strings Competition & Thornton Concerto Competition with the Lutoslawski 'cello concerto.
