As part of the Royal Academy of Music Bicentenary Series, Hadewych van Gent explores innovative voices of the cello repertoire in a bold first album on Linn. The warm, intimate opening piece is Hadewych’s own take on Colla parte by Dutch cellist and composer Ernst Reijseger who continues to inspire Hadewych to this day. Pianist Yupeng He joins Hadewych for Rebecca Clarke’s passionate Sonata, which was originally composed for the viola; Hadewych is one of the first cellists to record the work. The album ends with Pianissimo, the second movement of Gramata cellam by Peteris Vasks which combines, as in Colla parte, singing with cello playing, thus creating an authentic form of expression and adding Hadewych’s own voice to the composer’s.
