About

‘Cello Diverse’ is the debut release for Susanne Beer on Divine Art Records. The two featured sonatas differ in apparent scale, quite apart from the very obvious matters of harmony and style. Stravinsky’s Suite Italienne’ is based originally on a theme by Pergolesi, and arranged for cello and piano at the request of the legendary Piatigorsky. The final piece is a transcription of the key theme to the movie “The Mission”.

Susanne Beer has been co-principal cellist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra since 1995. She is regularly invited to be guest principal with several orchestras in Europe and North America, and has the distinction of being selected for the World Orchestra of Peace, founded by Sir Georg Solti and now conducted by Valery Gergiev, consisting of the very best orchestral players from all over the world. She gives chamber music concerts with members of this orchestra and also with the Soloists of the London Philharmonic Orchestra in their regular series at the Wigmore Hall. For two years she was principal cellist in the contemporary music group ‘Ensemble Wien 2001’, which gave her the opportunity of working as soloist with composers such as Hans Zender and Nader Mashayekhi.

Her interest in continuo playing, developed from an early age in Germany, has continued particularly at Glyndebourne, where she has played continuo over the past 12 years.

Gareth Hancock has appeared at all the major London venues and throughout Europe and the USA, with such artists as Dame Felicity Lott and Sarah Walker. He has also broadcast for BBC Radio 3, Classic FM, Radio France and BBC Radio Wales. He continues to enjoy a busy freelance career, which includes coaching at The Royal Academy of Music and the young artists’ programme at Covent Garden, together with conducting and recitals.
