This album features solo cello works by Kodály, Crumb, Hindemith, and Sallinen, performed by Frans Helmerson. Each piece highlights the cello's expressive range and technical demands, with Kodály's virtuosic *Sonata for Solo Cello* as a centerpiece. Crumb's *Sonata* explores lyrical and tonal elements, while Hindemith's piece reflects his radical early 20th-century style. Sallinen's *Elegy for Sebastian Knight* adds a contemporary Finnish perspective.
