In the history of music, Gaspar Cassadó is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Gaspar Cassadó as Catalan cellist and composer (1897–1966).
Gaspar Cassadó was born at Barcelona in 1897. His recorded nationality is Spain. He trained at Accademia Musicale Chigiana.
Recording arrived in this generation and changed everything: a performance could now outlive the performer.
He worked as composer, music educator and cellist.
The instruments recorded are cello.
His work is classed as contemporary classical music, classical music and sardana.
Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.
That the work came out of Spain shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Gaspar Cassadó died in 1966, aged 69. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
