Fantasy for Solo Cello
The Kuzmenko Fantasy is an attractive, essentially tonal work, a genuine contribution to the repertoire, and easily the best of.. the things I've heard by this composer. It has rhythmic and melodic interest, real vitality and strong feelings, all of which Yamagami was able to convey. Each of its four movements has a distinct profile and its own characteristic devices: the Prelude is sombre; the Scherzo a buoyant jig; the Intermezzo wistful, with a memorable, brief plaintive passage in harmonics; the Toccata finale a bit episodic but decisive.
