Full biography Gaspar Cassado
Gaspar Cassadó (1897-1966) was a Spanish cellist, composer, and conductor. He was born in Barcelona, Spain and studied at the Barcelona Conservatory. He later moved to Paris, where he studied composition with Maurice Ravel and cello with Pablo Casals.
Cassadó's music was greatly influenced by Catalan folk music, and his cello works are known for their virtuosity and lyricism. He also wrote orchestral music, chamber music, and vocal music.
One of Cassadó's most popular works is his Suite for Solo Cello, which incorporates Spanish folk music into its four movements. Another notable work is his Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, which was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premiered in 1954.
Aside from his career as a composer, Cassadó was also highly regarded as a cellist. He performed with many renowned orchestras and conductors, including Arturo Toscanini and Bruno Walter.
Cassadó's legacy as a composer and cellist remains strong today. His works continue to be performed by cellists around the world, and his influence can be heard in the music of many contemporary composers.
