Veiled Resonance

Placing a mute on the bridge of a cello transforms its character entirely. The dark, resonant body of sound takes on a hushed, slightly nasal quality – warm and grainy, soft-edged and full of quiet detail. Playing with the mute calls for a different touch and phrasing, and the result is unmistakable: more shadow than spotlight, more intimacy than projection. Synchron Solo Cello (sordino) captures this distinct voice in extraordinary detail, performed by acclaimed soloist Florian Eggner, first chair cellist of the Vienna Synchron Orchestra, in the large hall of Vienna Synchron Stage.

Synchron Solo Cello (sordino) once again features Florian Eggner, whose interpretive depth has shaped the original Synchron Solo Cello as well as countless concert and media productions worldwide. Since founding the Grammy-nominated Eggner Trio in 1997 with his brothers Georg and Christoph, he has performed in some of the world's most celebrated venues, from the Vienna Musikverein to Carnegie Hall. With the mute in place, his playing reveals a different side of the instrument – more introspective, less declarative, but every bit as expressive. Subtle bow pressure, fingertip nuance, and the gentle hum of the muted strings come to the foreground, inviting listeners to lean in rather than lean back.
