Cello Martin Schleske, Opus 58 anno 2003:
Description of the Cello: Model Domenico Montagnana 1740
Dedication of the Cello:
„How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him” (1.Joh 3:1).
“I immediately fell in love with this cello by Martin Schleske and I simply couldn't let it go […] I had a similar experience as a soloist for the Brandenburg State Orchestra. Once again, the sound of the cello had no trouble getting through. Colleagues described it as rich in harmonics and clear as glass even in the lower registers. A reviewer enjoyed the colors of the sound "ranging from the dark timbre of a lyric alto voice to that of a coloratura soprano". The range of overtones mentioned above is a key to the easy response of the instrument, which in turn makes for a relaxed approach to playing with a lot of room for sound inflections… Thanks again for this unbelievable cello!"
Thomas Georgi is Solocellist of the Brandenburg State Orchestra
