Alexander Hülshoff

Alexander Hülshoff is a cellist who seems to have a real passion for rediscovering and sharing the music of lesser-known composers, particularly from the Romantic era. He's recorded a ton of chamber music and concertos, often featuring works for cello by composers like Friedrich Gernsheim, Vilma von Webenau, and Johann Stiastny. He frequently collaborates with other musicians on these projects, bringing these often-forgotten pieces to life for a modern audience.

Looking at his discography, it's clear he enjoys exploring the duo repertoire for cello and other instruments, as evidenced by recordings of works by Kummer and Schubert for violin and cello, and several volumes of works for two cellos by Stiastny. He also seems drawn to the broader string repertoire, with recordings of chamber music by composers like Burkhard Egdorf and Maria Bach. Hülshoff's dedication to these composers suggests a commitment to expanding the cello repertoire and offering listeners a chance to hear something beyond the usual suspects.
