About

The young Swiss cellist Christian Poltéra is becoming a frequent guest at the world’s major concert venues. His repertoire is unusually wide-ranging and includes the core repertoire of the instrument, as well as contemporary works and rarely-heard composers.

Poltéra here explores four works by Arthur Honegger, written between 1920 and 1932. The Sonata for Cello and the Sonatina (originally written for the clarinet) are fine examples of his style: the composer never hid his admiration for Bach’s counterpoint and always insisted upon the importance of ‘musical architecture’ as he termed it. Other components are influences from jazz and blues and a Stravinskian neo-classicism, especially in the later Concerto and the Sonatina for violin and cello.

For the Concerto, Poltéra returns to the Malmö Symphony Orchestra under Tuomas Ollila-Hannikainen, while choosing Kathryn Stott and Christian Teztlaff as his partners in the chamber works.
