Joseph Spooner
Refreshing the repertoire
arresting in his commitment
...The performances are superb. Spooner is arresting in his commitment, his technical facility and in the rich tone he produces from his cello ... music that could not be better performed or presented’

tremendous musicianship and technical prowess
Spooner is an excellent cellist and his opulent tones can tug at the listener’s heartstrings. He uses a huge gradation of dynamics and can produce a sound that speaks directly to the emotions ... Much of it sounds like dark red velvet ... tremendous musicianship and technical prowess

beguilingly played by Joseph Spooner
Better still is the almost-forgotten early Cello Sonata, which muses beautifully and ends with a striding finale. It is a classic fin-de-siècle piece, beguilingly played by Joseph Spooner and well worth taking up by other cellists.
