This disc explores the music of an all-but-forgotten Englishman, Stephen Paxton, who flourished in London in the late 18th century. Famous as a composer of glees and catches he wrote a large number of works for his own instrument, the cello. Mostly recorded here for the first time Sebastian Comberti brings these forgotten works to light accompanied by a continuo team of Ruth Alford and Maggie Cole, with The Pantheon Band.
Following on from Cello Classics' first DVD, CC1901 ‘Greenhouse at Wigmore Hall’ we are delighted to announce the release of DVDs of masterclasses given by the late William Pleeth. Teacher of the legendary Jacqueline du Pré and many other internationally recognized cellists ,he celebrated his 80th birthday in 1996. To mark the occasion, he was filmed giving a series of eight one-hour classes at the renowned Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies in Snape, England. In the classics of the cello repertoire, he had the uncanny ability to guide and inspire talented young players. This series is the only filmed document of his extraordinary work as a teacher.
