Description:
Cast in four continuous movements; Four Fragments is a ravishing and theatrical showpiece that maximizes the cellist's lyricism and fire; overflowing with declamatory and cadenza-like soliloquys clearly inspired by the composer's cultural multi-dimensionalism. Ilona Oltuski at blogcritics.org writes; 'New York Times critic Alan Kozinn; who keeps a close watch on Ruo's artistic development; describes the relationship between East and West in Ruo's music: 'As in many of his scores; Chinese articulation styles - sliding notes and gracefully bending tones - mingle freely with Western moves and diatonic harmonies.'' For advanced cellists. Dur.: 13'30'
