Harro Ruijsenaars - Cello
Erik Risberg - Piano
Is there anything that
captures the lyrical mood of the cello better than the
"Swan" by Saint-Saens? It is the forst piece I ever played
on a concert stage and ever since the so called "small
repertoire" has been very dear to me, in spite of it's
performance being limited mostly to the incidental encore
pieces.
This realm of the cello miniature enables me to indulge in a
variety of moods, ranging from buzzing energy as in Rimsky's
"Bumblebee", to the languid serenity of Boëllmann's
"Valse Lente".
The choice of repertoire in this recording contains many
transcriptions made by the great cellists of the past.

Ruijsenaars
Harro Ruijsenaars
From 1977-1989 Harro
Ruijsenaars was principal cellist of the Royal Concertgebouw
Orchestra of Amsterdam, a position he relinquished in order
to develop his career as a soloist and take up a
professorship at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus,
Denmark.
Born near Haarlem, Holland in 1945 Ruijsenaars studied the
cello with Maurice Gendron at the Hochschule für Musik
in Saarbrücken, Germany.
His career as a soloist has brought him to many European
countries, to the USA, the former Soviet Union and the Far
East.
His chamber music partners include the Alban Berg and
Orlando String Quartets, the Nash ensemble, pianists Ronald
Brautigam, Roland Pöntinen and Rian de Waal, violinists
Isabelle von Keulen and Jaap van Zweden, and violist Nobuko
Imai.
Erik Risberg
was born in 1955. He
has been the pianist of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra
for more than a decade. Risberg studied with José
Ribera at Edsberg, the Swedish Radio School of Music, and
later with Elisif Lundén at the Gothenburg University
School of Music. Risberg has also studied with Peter
Feuchtwanger in London.
Erik Risberg often works with vocalists, and he also teaches
interpretation at the Gothenburg University School of
Music.
