Born in 1885 in Porto, Portugal, to a middle-class musical family, Guilhermina Suggia began playing cello at the age of five. A child prodigy, she was already a seasoned performer when she won a scholarship to study with Julius Klengel in Leipzig at the age of sixteen. Suggia lived in Paris with fellow cellist Pablo Casals for several years before World War I, in a professional and personal partnership that was as stormy as it was unconventional. When they separated Suggia moved to London, where she built a spectacularly successful solo career. Suggia's virtuosity and musicianship, along with the magnificent style and stage presence famously captured in Augustus John's portrait, made her one of the most sought-after concert artists of her day. In 1927 she married Dr Josasimiro Carteado Mena and settled down to a comfortable life divided between Portugal and England. Throughout the 1930s, Suggia remained one of the most respected musicians in Europe. She partnered on stage with many famous instrumentalists and conductors and completed numerous BBC broadcasts. The war years kept her at home in Portugal, where she focused on teaching, but she returned to England directly after the war and resumed performing. When Suggia died in 1950, her will provided for the establishment of several scholarship funds for young cellists, including England's prestigious Suggia Gift. Mercier's study of Suggia's letters and other writings reveal an intelligent, warm and generous character; an artist who was enormously dedicated, knowledgeable and self-disciplined. Suggia was one of the first women to make a career of playing the cello at a time when prejudice against women playing this traditionally 'masculine' instrument was still strong. A role model for many other musicians, she was herself a fearless pioneer.

Guilhermina Suggia (1885-1950) est entrée dans l'histoire à un double titre : comme compagne de Pablo Casals pendant sept ans, de 1906 à 1913, et comme pionnière du violoncelle qu'elle imposa entre les mains d'une femme. Son existence est épique. Sur scène à 5 ans, violoncelle solo à l'Orpheon Portuense à 15 ans, soliste au Gewandhaus de Leipzig à 18 ans, elle partage de 21 à 28 ans la vie mouvementée de Pablo Casals. Ils tournent ensemble en Europe et en Russie, créent le double concerto de leur ami Emanuel Moor, se produisent sous les baguettes les plus prestigieuses de leur temps : Arthur Nikisch, Edouard Colonne, Eugène Ysaye... A leur rupture en 1913, Suggia triomphe en Angleterre avec l'appui de personnalités dont elle gagne l'estime et l'affection : le magnat de la presse Edward Hudson, l'écrivain Lytton Strachey, la compositrice Ethel Smith, le chef et compositeur Donald Tovey, le pianiste Gerald Moore, le peintre des stars Augustus John... Sa vie illustre le combat des femmes pour l'égalité sur le front de la musique. Elle parcourt les révolutions de la pratique musicale (de la lutherie, de l'enregistrement, de l'enseignement, des concours, du répertoire) au cours du siècle qui nous sépare de ses premiers succès.

An award-winning journey through Johann Sebastian Bach’s six cello suites and the brilliant musician who revealed their lasting genius. One fateful evening, journalist and pop-music critic Eric Siblin attended a recital of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suites—an experience that set him on an epic quest to uncover the mysterious history of the entrancing compositions and their miraculous reemergence nearly two hundred years later. In pursuit of his musicological obsession, Siblin would unravel three centuries of intrigue, politics, and passion. Winner of the Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-fiction and the McAuslan First Book Prize, The Cello Suites weaves together three dramatic narratives: the disappearance of Bach’s manuscript in the eighteenth century, Pablo Casals’s discovery and popularization of the music in Spain in the late nineteenth century, and Siblin’s infatuation with the suites in the present day. The search led Siblin to Barcelona, where Casals, just thirteen and in possession of his first cello, roamed the backstreets with his father in search of sheet music and found Bach’s lost suites tucked in a dark corner of a store. Casals played them every day for twelve years before finally performing them in public. Siblin sheds new light on the mysteries that continue to haunt this music more than 250 years after its composer’s death: Why did Bach compose the suites for the cello, then considered a lowly instrument? What happened to the original manuscript? A seamless blend of biography and music history, The Cello Suites is a true-life journey of discovery, fueled by the power of these musical masterpieces. “The ironies of artistic genius and public taste are subtly explored in this winding, entertaining tale of a musical masterpiece.” —Publishers Weekly “Siblin’s writing is most inspired when describing the life of Casals, showing a genuine affection for the cellist, who . . . used his instrument and the suites as weapons of protest and pleas for peace.” —Booklist, starred review

Amaryllis Fleming was born in secret on 10 December 1925 and grew up believing herself to be the adopted daughter of Eve Fleming, the widowed mother of the writers Peter and Ian.

What does it mean to perform expressively on the cello? In Cello Practice, Cello Performance, professor Miranda Wilson teaches that effectiveness on the concert stage or in an audition reflects the intensity, efficiency, and organization of your practice. Far from being a mysterious gift randomly bestowed on a lucky few, successful cello performance is, in fact, a learnable skill that any player can master. Most other instructional works for cellists address techniques for each hand individually, as if their movements were independent. In Cello Practice, Cello Performance, Wilson demonstrates that the movements of the hands are vitally interdependent, supporting and empowering one another in any technical action. Original exercises in the fundamentals of cello playing include cross-lateral exercises, mindful breathing, and one of the most detailed discussions of intonation in the cello literature. Wilson translates this practice-room success to the concert hall through chapters on performance-focused practice, performance anxiety, and common interpretive challenges of cello playing. This book is a resource for all advanced cellists—college-bound high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and professional performers—and teaches them how to be their own best teachers.

The Great Cellists is a comprehensive and authoritative history of the lives and work of the cello's great performers and teachers, from the emergence of the solo instrument in the seventeenth century to the present day. In its early history, the cello was a genuine 'bass' violin that came in three sizes and from the thirteenth century was played side by side with viols and later violins. The instrument we know today came into general use by the time the great makers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - such as Amati, Stradivari and Guarneri - brought their craft to perfection and made numerous of the instruments most sought after by today's virtuosi. Many of the earliest known professional cellists were employed as court musicians, but their names have not been widely known. The most familiar names belong to those early cellists who were also composers: Boccherini, Romberg, Piatti and Popper. In more recent times, the great Europeans Becker, Klengel and Salmond led to Feuermann, Piatogorsky, Fournier, Rostropovich, and above all to Casals; and they, in turn, have greatly influenced contemporary musicians such as the late Jacqueline du Pré and the manifold brilliant players from Russia, Japan and the USA. The Great Cellists reveals a splendid range of personalities from the conventional to the eccentric. Included also are the numerous less well-known cellists who were important as founders of the various national 'schools'. Margaret Campbell has interviewed many eminent musicians and had rich access to letters and private documents in her coverage of the last hundred years. Her absorbing book presents to the reader a rich vision of skills and traditions that have been handed down nationally through the generations, and developed internationally since the twentieth century. It is a book for string players, students, concertgoers and CD buffs - indeed, anyone who enjoys the sound of the cello.

Imagine a triptych - three panels - three books. The first depicts a French aristocrat in 18th Century clothes burying a cello and a painting. The second a glamorous woman with hair in the 1920s' style, wearing a stunning red gown and playing a cello with her eyes closed. The third a frightened girl running, carrying a bundle in her arms. Connecting them all three brothers and two women in the present time. The three brothers: Antero Reeve, an architect, working in the Loire Valley, France, Armando Reeve, a musicologist, newly moved to the village of Steyning in Sussex, England, and researching the life of a great Portuguese cellist - Guilhermina Suggia - intending to write a book about her; Anselmo Reeve, a photographer, living in Munich, Germany. The two women: Ellen Matthews, a cello teacher/tutor, living in Steyning, Armando's neighbour, had a son at sixteen - Andrew - who is now thirty and an acclaimed opera/classical music conductor; Amira Denning-Deschamps, a business woman, unusually beautiful, widow, inherited her husband's fortune and business empire after his death, also had a son at 16 - Guillaume - who is now thirty and runs the empire with her. In Book 1 of The Triptych, entitled The Cello, a lost Stradivarius cello is found buried under the ruins of a Loire Valley Chateau in France. Who did it belong to? Why was it buried? The suspenseful mystery slowly unfolds and brings a tragic, fascinating story to life.
