Ries: Complete Works For Cello, Vol. 2
Ferdinand Ries is remembered as Beethoven’s one-time pupil, secretary and copyist, but was a forward-looking composer in his own right, demonstrated here on Vol. 2 of his diverse and imaginative works. Critically acclaimed Vol. 1 can be found on Naxos 8.573726. This release joins the ongoing programme of recordings of music by this neglected composer.
