The cello is said to be the instrument most similar to the human voice. On his new GENUIN CD, the outstanding cellist Dorukhan Doruk brings out the vocal qualities of the cello and its ability to let the tones shine. On the recording, he plays exclusively works for cello solo of the 20th and 21st centuries, including two works by great Turkish composers, namely Ahmet Adnan Saygun and Fazıl Say, as well as compositions by Gaspar Cassadó, Ernest Bloch, and Giovanni Sollima. The winner of multiple international prizes has recorded a program "from Darkness into Light", which ranges from Saygun’s veiled sounds to Sollima’s virtuoso caprices. Exciting new territory!
The album is nominated for ICMA 2024 in the category Solo Instrument.
Nominated for the German Record Critics Award, Longlist 3/2023
