Wondrous Love : Works for Solo CelloThe superb cellist Miranda Wilson contrasts the three suites by Bloch with two new works by Daniel Bukvich.
A native of New Zealand, cellist Miranda Wilson has performed on five continents as a soloist and chamber musician.
Educated in New
Zealand, England and the U.S., she is on the faculty of the University of Idaho
and is artistic co-director of the Idaho Bach Festival.
Wilson has chosen to
combine Ernest Bloch’s three suites for solo cello with two new works by Daniel
Bukvich.
One of the connecting features between these two composers is their
association with the Pacific Northwest.
Bloch spent his last years in Oregon,
while Bukvich has spent his career on the faculty at the University of Idaho.
Bukvich studied Bloch’s manuscripts as a student and names Bloch as one of his
influences.
