About

The Scandinavian Cellist:  70 Years on the Concert Stage

Excerpts from recorded performances 1956-2006 (includes music by Bach, Beethoven, Boccherini, Chopin,  Kodaly, Schumann, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky), with tributes from colleagues, family and friends, and Erling Blöndal Bengtsson telling his own story.  Complete performance of Bach’s Suite No. 3 in C, recorded in 2006.

A favourable review of this DVD release in ‘The Strad’ calls Bengtsson “A cellist’s cellist”, and goes on to indicate that this is not intended to damn him with faint praise.  To end the programme, there is a new recording of Bach’s Suite No. 3 in a performance which “speaks with the simple clarity of the sage” – a worthy record of a great performer.
