Overview

Music for solo cello by one of today’s leading exponents of the instrument, including works by the Turkish composer Ahmet Adnan Saygun (1907-91), described in his Times obituary as ‘the grand old man of Turkish music, who was to his country what Jean Sibelius is to Finland, what Manuel de Falla is to Spain, and what Béla Bartók is to Hungary’.
