Three Suites for Cello

Album by Benjamin Britten & Denise Djokic

Three Suites for Solo Cello is a set of three suites for solo cello by English composer Benjamin Britten, composed between 1964 and 1971. The works combine traditional suite forms with modern harmonic language, extended cello techniques and varied timbral effects, and they form part of Britten's late output as focussed explorations of the cello's expressive and technical possibilities within mid-20th-century classical music.
