published by Opus Cello
Opus Cello specializes in high-quality cello arrangements, often for 2 or more cellos, from the classical repertory and beyond. Its music has been performed by the likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Gautier Capucon, Kian Soltani, Sol Gabetta, Frans Helmerson, and more, as well as the Boston Cello Quartet and cello sections of major orchestras from around the world. First spearheaded by Blaise Dejardin, principal cellist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, it has grown to feature arrangements by Aurelien Sabouret, Sebastien Walnier, Renaud Guieu, and James Barralet. These publications help to greatly expand the repertoire for avid cello ensembles and chamber groups.
