Die 12 Cellisten

柏林爱乐十二把大提琴创立于一九七四年，隶属于举世知名的柏林爱乐管弦乐团，利用柏林爱乐休团时排练和演出。从一九七四年以来，他们就成为举世最知名且罕见的大提琴室内乐团。睽违四年，在零六年的「天使之舞」专辑后，这个乐团终于 再次推出全新专辑「花都巴黎」，把一系列和法国有关的音乐，改编成供大提琴乐团演奏，呈现一个浪漫又神秘的音乐之都。 

They are unique. Naturally, every symphony orchestra has its cello section. But nowhere else in the world have the deeper, larger strings joined together to form an independent ensemble - an orchestra within an orchestra - meeting with success after success. That is why every music lover knows immediately where the "12 Cellists" come from, even if they cannot name their orchestra. They are an institution. They have played together since 1972, appearing as an ensemble, occasionally in Berlin, often elsewhere, and quite often traveling great distances. Even their premiere concert, with its evening-long program, took place not in Berlin, but instead in Tokyo, the Japanese capital, a city with which they are still closely associated. The group's personnel has changed over the years; founders have entered retirement, and younger colleagues have also moved on. Continuity and renewal have formed a productive alliance in the history of the 12 Cellists - as you can hear for yourselves.
