This disc is the first in an ambitious three-part series surveying Michael Hersch's complete solo works for strings. The current recording focuses on the demanding early sonatas for unaccompanied cello, both of which were written while the composer was still in his twenties. The second installment, to be released in 2010, will feature his music for violin, performed by violinist Miranda Cuckson. The final installment, scheduled for a 2011 release, will comprise unaccompanied works for double bass and viola.
