Nowadays, cellists have nothing to complain about as far as repertoire is concerned; re-discovered cello pieces of the music literature appear one after the other, both on concert platforms and on CDs. Thanks to Hungaroton, we find Ignace Pleyel's (1757-1831) complete cello concertos on a double-CD album.
Hungaroton is being very enterprising in deciding to produce a complete edition of Ignace Pleyel’s string concertos. The double CD which has come out first, contains five cello concertos.
Pleyel, who was a student of Haydn, is a steady composer.
Ignatz Pleyel (1757-1831) lived in the time of Mozart and Beethoven and wrote much music that is rarely heard today. Both of these works are first recordings. His first teacher was Vanhal, and later he studied with Haydn in Eisenstadt.
