Largo

for violoncello and orchestra
violoncello and orchestra
Largo reflects Krzysztof Penderecki’s affection for the cello, which he once described as his favourite instrument. He sets up the lone soloist with a group of four additional cellos: the resulting tonal blocks form a dialogue which is repeatedly interrupted by the orchestra. Largo was written for the legendary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich who gave the World Première with Seiji Ozawa and the Vienna Philharmonic. As a memorial to one of the greatest soloists of the instrument, Largo has now found a permanent place in contemporary cello repertoire.
