Alan, a cellist from Cleveland, has been a big Alban Gerhard<\/a>t fan for a long time, so he was happy to assemble a repertoire report for his favourite cellist.<\/p>\n

Alban must be about the busiest cellist on the planet- certainly nobody I know carries more repertoire or is more fearless in terms of his scheduling. Just look at what he was up to in 2 weeks in April this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Don Quixotte with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under K.Petrenko<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

That\u2019s 16 days with Dvorak, Don Quixotte, Rococo, Schumann, Volkmann (so glad someone is playing that piece- it\u2019s quite lovely) and Chin concertos (although the Chin looks like a possible archiving mistake- I\u2019m not sure it is possible to do Dvorak in Essen on the 22nd<\/sup> and Chin in Seoul on the 23rd<\/sup>). One wonders when he prepared that solo program with Ligeti, Kodaly and Bach. I think the lesson for young cellists is that having a solo career isn\u2019t just about how well you play, but how much you can withstand- travel, changes in repertoire and performing conditions and separation from family<\/p>\n
