Ditta Rohmann (cello)

The solo cello canon is by no means restricted to those few composers and works that regularly feature at concerts, in recordings or on the radio. In the 20th century the instrument’s repertoire was enhanced with so-called classical works, such as solo sonatas by Kodály and Ligeti; however, we must also not forget other creative figures living earlier ‘in the shadow of Bach’ who endowed the cello with superb compositions. One of these was the extremely long-lived cellist and composer Joseph Maria Clément dall’Abaco (1710–1805), a contemporary of Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. And there have been modern figures, too, proof of which is provided in this concert by Ditta Rohmann. As far as she is concerned, there is no such thing as old and new, or a demarcation between classical and experimental, since she approaches each and every piece in the spirit of discovery, curiosity and recreation.
