Vocalise: Cello Interpretations by Caroline Worthington

Vocalise: Cello Interpretations by Caroline Worthington

THIS UNIQUE DISC showcases a range and versatility of the cello never before heard. American cellist Caroline Worthington brings forth music in ways that are both hauntingly familiar, yet refreshingly new. From the opening work, Rachmaninovâ€™s beautiful â€œVocaliseâ€, the recording segues into the black spiritual â€œBreak Bread Togetherâ€. Mozartâ€™s â€œQueen of the Nightâ€ from The Magic Flute is here heard on the cello for the first time, and in the original coloratura range. Classics such as Gounodâ€™s â€œAve Mariaâ€ contrast beautifully with Stevie Wonderâ€™s song â€œAsâ€. All the works featured here, old and new, dance and weave around one another, taking the listener on a truly wondrous journey. Here the cello finds its true voice, and in masterful performances by Caroline Worthington on her 1733 Montagnana, one of the finest cellos ever crafted. CAROLINE WORTHINGTON was born in Middletown Connecticut and at the age of nine decided that the cello would be her lifelong pursuit. She studied with Luigi Silva, Pablo Casals, Gabor Rejto, Edgar Lustgarten, Nickolai Graudan, and William Pleeth. Under the aegis of Columbia Artists Management and Wilhelm Hensen, she toured worldwide with the Montagnana trio, so named for her cello. She was much sought after as a teacher, and was very philanthropic in her efforts to help others. Her musical journey as a pedagogue, soloist, and chamber musician is extensive.
