Cello Music Of Randall Svane
Album US 2005 on Leggiero Records label
Classical (Modern)
American composer Randall Svane has made a substantial and important addition to the cello repertoire with his three lovely Unaccompanied Cello Suites and "Dreams Go Wandering Still...." (for cello and piano), written during the years 1979-1988. In the notes accompanying the disc he states that "admiration for the cello suites of J.S. Bach and Benjamin Britten inspired him to compose his own three cello suites." Mr. Svane has an original voice, lyrical and emotional, using dissonance melodically and uneven meter as an expressive element. The Suites are based on classic forms but within that context their construction and content are unique. A contemplative aria that expresses both tender lyricism and more intense passion, the title of "Dreams Go Wandering Still..." is borrowed from the the great Japanese haiku master Basho. In 1694, as he lay dying, Basho composed his final Haiku: On a journey ill, and over fields all withered, dreams go wandering still.
