Scelsi: Trilogia:The three ages of man

"Arne Deforce is one of the most exciting new cellists I have come across. Everything he plays is approached with a powerful intensity born from an engagement with the music on a deep spiritual and psychic level. He is highly imaginative and brings an originality and, above all, creativity to his interpretations which is both fiery and structured. He has taught me things about my own music, and it has been a pleasure to work with him. His recorded improvisations bear testimony to this spirit; they have influenced my writing for cello no little. He will almost certainly bring a profound level of experience to whatever audience hears him." Jonathan Harvey 2004
