Various Artists | Cello for Relaxation | CD

The cello's range allows it to move between low accompaniment and sustained melodic lines. This collection places the instrument at the centre of a programme drawn from recorded classical repertoire.

Cello for Relaxation brings selected cello performances together on CD. The compilation focuses on contrasting pieces and arrangements intended for a restrained listening programme rather than presenting a complete concerto or sonata cycle.
