In brilliant arrangements, the 1978–2010 albums document all the facets of the instrument’s technical range in breathtaking and sensuous cello works from Bach to the Beatles, from film hits to chansons and jazz, and from South American music to the avant-garde style of the likes of Iannis Xenakis, who wrote original compositions that are tailor-made for the ensemble’s virtuoso fingers. This box contains eight bestseller albums brought together in this format for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/about_this_recording_transparent_black_shadow_2_a5dcf294-f51a-49fc-9eb4-d0541f3a0b05_480x480.png?v=1654314595\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/about_this_recording_transparent_black_shadow_2_a5dcf294-f51a-49fc-9eb4-d0541f3a0b05_480x480.png?v=1654314595\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ensemble of string players drawn from one of the top orchestras goes independent. Nothing unusual in that really, yet in the case of the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra it was a sensation: one year after its foundation the group gave its first full-length concert in 1973 featuring a sizzling spectacle of tremendous cello pieces – and not in Berlin, but in Tokyo. A new dimension of cello playing was born that has since attracted millions of fans. Now comes the release of the eight top albums by this “Berlin dozen” from the years 1978–2010, compiled for the first time in one single box and including a CD premiere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmid their enthusiasm for the project, the twelve top cellists were faced with one problem: there was virtually no repertoire for an ensemble of this formation. So clever arrangers have provided the material for their concert programmes and delivered the repertoire for their eight albums to date: Beatles melodies, music from South America, film hits, chansons and jazz. Top-flight guest artists were happy to accept the invitation to join the twelve musicians – artists like Till Brönner, Arleen Augér, Juliane Banse, Max Raabe and Simon Rattle. Composers of the avant-garde contributed no end of original compositions specially written for the 12, including Iannis Xenakis’s Windungen and Wilhelm Kaiser-Lindemann’s Brazilian variations Die 12 in Bossa-nova.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn its 40+-year history the ensemble has experienced changes in its formation and even recorded one of the most famous original works, Villa-Lobos’s Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, twice (in 1981 and 1999). This box therefore reflects the history of one of the most outstanding classical music ensembles. It should be mentioned that the second album by the 12 Cellists, from 1981, is released with this box for the first time in its entirety on CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_94cd161d-b5f2-42b6-8234-ac3110505111_480x480.png?v=1654314702\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_94cd161d-b5f2-42b6-8234-ac3110505111_480x480.png?v=1654314702\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 1 Fleur de Paris (2010)\u003cbr\u003e1 Sous Les Ponts de Paris - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e2 Pavane - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e3 Pigalle - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e4 Que Reste T-Il de Nos Amours - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e5 Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e6 Une Femme Est Une Femme - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e7 Fleur de Paris - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e8 Clair de Lune - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e9 La Vie en Rose - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e10 Sous Le Ciel de Paris - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e11 Gymnopedie No.1 - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e12 Figure Humaine: de Tous Les Printemps Du Monde - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e13 Figure Humaine: en Chantant Les Servantes S'élancent - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e14 Figure Humaine: Aussi Bas Que Le Silence - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e15 Figure Humaine: Toi Ma Patiente Ma Patience Ma Parente - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e16 Figure Humaine: Riant Du Ciel Et Des Planetes - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e17 Figure Humaine: Le Jour M'étonne Et la Nuit Me Fait Peur - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e18 Figure Humaine: La Menace Sous Le Ciel Rouge - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e19 Figure Humaine: Liberte - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 2 Angel Dances (2005)\u003cbr\u003e1 la Muerte Del Àngel - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e2 Milonga Del Àngel - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e3 la Resurreccion Del Àngel - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e4 Let Us Praise Him - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\/Jocelyn B Smith\/Hans-Dieter Lorenz\u003cbr\u003e5 Plorate - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\/Simon Halsey\/Rundfunkchor Berlin\u003cbr\u003e6 la Cathedrale Engloutie - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e7 Fratres - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\/Franz Schindelbeck\u003cbr\u003e8 a Solis Ortus Cardine - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\/Jocelyn B Smith\u003cbr\u003e9 Quattro Pezzi Sacri: Ave Maria - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e10 Choral: Jesu Bleibet Meine Freude (From Cantata 147) - Die 12 Cellisten Der Berliner Philharmoniker\u003cbr\u003e11 Trio \u0026amp;
