Piatti: 12 Caprices for Cello

Playing the rich-toned and highly responsive Stradivarius ‘Bonjour’ cello of 1696, on loan to her from the Canada Council of the Arts, the Canadian cellist Soo Bae interprets Alfredo Piatti’s technically demanding and emotionally rewarding Capriccio on a theme from Pacini’s opera Niobe and his virtuosic Twelve Caprices with seeming effortlessness. Winner of the 2005 Concert Artists Guild International Competition, and selected by Musical America as ‘New Artist of the Month’ (March 2009), Soo Bae enjoys a busy international career.
