Cello Suites
Album by Benjamin Britten & William Butt
Cello Suites are a set of three suites for solo cello by English composer Benjamin Britten, composed between 1964 and 1971. The music blends modernist harmonic language with references to Baroque forms and extended cello techniques, and it occupies an important place in Britten's later output and the 20th-century solo cello repertoire.
First released: 29th March 2004
