JS Bach: Cello Suite No 1 in G Major BWV 1007

E Rautavaara: Sonata for Cello Solo

Recorded at Rathfarnham Castle

A much admired exponent of the solo cello repertoire and firm favourite with Festival audiences, William Butt is a prolific performer of works for the medium by a myriad of contemporary composers, as well as the suites of Bach and Britten which he has recorded to critical acclaim. Alongside Bach’s much-loved First Cello Suite, Bill offers a towering work by the celebrated Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara, his Sonata for Solo Cello, a magnificent evocation of the Baroque era.
