Suite (Cassado)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This Suite, like the Cello Concerto and the Piano Trio, came from one Cassadó's most prolific periods, in the mid-1920s. The Suite consists of three dance movements: Preludio-Fantasia - a Zarabanda; Sardana; and Intermezzo e Danza Finale - a Jota. The first movement quotes Zoltán Kodály's Sonata for Cello Solo, Op.8, and the famous flute solo from Maurice Ravel's ballet Daphnis et Chloé. This Suite was popularized by the great cellist János Starker.
