Duport: Concertos pour violoncelle & Duos

The last album of our retrospective is off the beaten track. It is dedicated to Jean-Louis Duport, nowadays an underrated musician but a true cello-hero back in his time (his own cello, the Duport by Stradivarius, was played by Rostropovich for many years until his death). This album features the only existing version on record of the second concerto, and some rare duets with Xavier Gagnepain.
