Popper: High School Of Cello Playing

Rummel, Martin

David Popper’s “High School of Violoncello Playing” is the core etude collection for every cellist. Martin Rummel’s recording from 2004 has been remastered and appears on Paladino here for the first time. Following Paladino’s successful recording of Popper’s Complete Suites for Cello, this is the next installment of the Popper Project, which aims to publish recordings of all extant works. Born in 1974, the cellist Martin Rummel can be heard on more than 40 albums, the last of which to raise international attention being the Complete Cello Concertos by Andrea Zani on Capriccio- an unparalleled recording career in Rummel’s generation. Martin Rummel is a regular guest at venues such as the Konzerthaus and Musikverein in Vienna, the Tonhalle Dusseldorf, de Doelen in Rotterdam or the Krannert Center in Urbana, in short: leading festivals, venues and orchestras in Europe the US, Asia, and the Pacifics. His playing is frequently honored with standing ovations from audiences, be it for concerto appearances such as his American debut with Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations or his extraordinary performances of the Complete Bach Cello Suites in one evening.
