Among the artists of her generation, Emmanuelle Bertrand is one of the cellists who impressed me much. Her interpretation fully satisfied me for the transparency of her sound, her rhythmic strictness, her technical perfection, the brio of her playing. I do not hesitate to claim that she is a true revelation to me.

The Sonata for Solo Cello is an unaccompanied cello sonata written by György Ligeti between 1948 and 1953. The piece was initially received poorly by the Soviet-run Composer's Union and was not allowed to be published or performed. However, in the 1980s and 90s, after over a quarter century in repose, the piece reemerged and has since become a well-known part of the standard cello repertoire.
