Contributing editor and cellist Geoffrey Dean has launched a YouTube channel in his name and started by posting videos of four of his performances. They feature little-known compositions that he discovered mostly by scouring newspaper items on 19th and early 20th century concerts in the US.
I enjoyed these videos very much, and I encourage you to watch them. Geoffrey’s sister shared the playlist with a friend of hers who recently told her she is thinking about switching from violin to cello (she played piano as a child and has been trying the violin). After checking Geoffrey’s channel, the woman commented: “OMG! I had no idea! I just watched one piece so far (it’s late), and it was exquisite!”
If you like what you hear on Geoffrey’s channel, please click the thumbs-up icons to say so.
And, if we hear that Geoffrey’s playing does inspire his sister’s friend to switch to cello, we’ll let you know.
Trivia Questions:
- How many different ties does Geoffrey wear for the four performances?
- How many different masks does Geoffrey’s accompanist (pianist Carson Rose Schneider) wear?
