英國無伴奏大提琴音樂 (華爾頓/布列頓/梅里克)
史蒂芬．伊瑟利斯 大提琴

If Britten’s Cello Suite No 3 is the undisputed masterpiece here, the other works are no less deserving of attention, Frank Merrick’s Suite in the eighteenth-century style being a particular delight. As ever, Steven Isserlis’s booklet notes offer fascinatingly personal perspectives on the composers and their music.
