Cellist Inbal Segev uncovers three recordings from her own record collection Timo Andres Antennae

Timo Andres (piano)

I’ve known Timo’s work for quite a few years now. He’s a brilliant composer and I love his music. Antennae was the first piece of his to get me hooked. It’s a short piece for solo piano is very good and easy to get to know; it’s minimalistic, a little virtuosic, with patterns that repeat quickly and it has very unusual sonorities that I enjoy. It was on an album called Shy and Mighty which one critic called ‘more mighty than shy’. I think that’s true.

Angélica Negrón La Isla Magica

Eleonore Oppenheim (double bass), Angélica Negrón (electronics)

Innova INNOVA929

I’m really drawn to Angélica’s sound. I’ve been aware of her for a few years and her music does not sound the same as anybody else’s, so she really has this unique quality. She uses accordions, toys and curious sonorities – and she sings too. La Isla Magica is really quirky, with what sounds like a toy keyboard, bass and electronics. It’s a bit of escapism – the antithesis of what’s happening now in the world. CPE Bach Sonata in C minor ‘Sanguineus et Melancolicus’

Florilegium Channel Classics CCS11197 This is also very quirky; you wouldn’t think that CPE Bach would have written something like this. A Baroque cellist introduced it to me because I was learning one of CPE

Bach’s concertos for a concert this summer. I was like ‘wow’. It kind of blew my mind because it’s so unusual; you just don’t think they wrote crazy stuff like this back then – it’s almost experimental. It has abrupt changes of mood, a kind of flow of consciousness and a feeling of going from one thought to another.
