The Complete Suites for Solo Cello

Album by Benjamin Britten & Torleif Thedéen

The Complete Suites for Solo Cello is the collection of three suites for solo cello by English composer Benjamin Britten, composed between 1964 and 1971. The works employ a modernist harmonic language alongside lyrical and often austere melodic writing, expanding the solo cello repertoire and representing an important strand of Britten's later chamber music output.
