Sheku Kanneh-Mason: Song is a kaleidosope of music for solo cello, cello and piano, plus a beautiful cello duet and trio, from the award-winning and internationally acclaimed cellist. This collection presents music from Sheku’s third album, Song, which is a very personal collection that refers to the unique singing tone of the cello. Pieces include Deep River by Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Burt Bacharach’s I Say a Little Prayer and Parry’s Myfanwy, which is arranged for cello trio.
Faber Music’s publication is well set out on the page and easy to read, while Kanneh-Mason’s fingerings and bowing suggestions assist in a smooth and expressive interpretation.
