This book presents the story of renowned cellist Aldo Parisot, who
started his career in his native Brazil and then emigrated to the
U.S., establishing himself as a major soloist worldwide. His
colleague and friend Janos Starker has described Mr. Parisot as "a
top-notch performer" and "the best cello teacher of his time."
Parisot expanded the cello repertoire by commissioning contemporary
composers, including the Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos, aswell as
numerous American composers. He has, in addition, discovered and
revived older music for the instrument. He has been responsible, as
in the case of the Parisonatina by Donald Martino, so named in
honor of Parisot,for shaping the music together with the composer.
The book also considers his groundbreaking work with the cello
ensemble at Yale and at festivals around the globe. Parisot's life
is interesting not only as the story of an extraordinary performer
but also as a human story about overcoming hardship. His
personality is colorful, and he is a compelling visual artist as
well as an exciting musician. SUSAN HAWKSHAW is on the faculty at
Albertus Magnus College and at the University of New Haven, both in
New Haven, CT.
