Carmine Miranda - Schumann & Dvořák: Cello Concertos (2016)

Venezuelan-American cellist Carmine Miranda is a renowned international soloist and recording artist. He studied first at the Carabobo State Music Conservatory in Venezuela, then at the Latin-American Academy of Violoncell, the Simon Bolivar Conservatory of Music, and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. For this release, Miranda has chosen cello concerti by Schumann and Dvorak. When Miranda was only twenty two and twenty three years old, he recorded Bach's Six Cello Suites, as well as Alfredo Piatti's 12 Caprices for Solo Cello. He was one of the youngest in the world to ever record these works. "It's natural, then, that Miranda's performance of the Schumann Cello Concerto sounds like a love letter-attention is paid to moments of delicacy and tenderness." (Huntley Dent, Fanfare Magazine)
