Artist website: https://jonathanflaksman.com/

Born in Kent, Ohio in 1981, Jonathan Flaksman  began playing the cello at the age of 5. His father Michael Flaksman, a world-renowned cellist and teacher, was one of the major influences of his teaching and playing.

He has also studied under many other world-class musicians including Madalena Burle-Marx, Richard Aaron, Fred Sherry, Harvey Shapiro, Siegfried Palm, Bernard Greenhouse, Jens Peter Mainz, and Ralph Kirschbaum.

He attended the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Juilliard School, and the University of Mannheim in Germany.

Jonathan has been awarded fellowships to attend festivals and masterclasses throughout the US and Europe, including Interlochen Arts Camp, Music Festivals in Portogruaro, Aspen, Schleswig-Holstein, and Łancut, Aurora Chamber Music, and Bayreuther Festspiele . He has played in various orchestras in Germany, including the Nationaltheater Mannheim, Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern, and the philharmonics of Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen, gaining invaluable musical knowledge and experience.

He performs regularly at the Ascoli Piceno Festival in Italy.

In 2015 He was appointed assistant principal cellist of the Santa Barbara Symphony and moved to Los Angeles.

He plays in many orchestras throughout California, including the Pasadena Symphony and Pops, Modesto Symphony, and New West Symphony.

He records for major motion pictures and music albums, and plays, composes, arranges, and produces music of all genres.

Program notes:

Hindemith https://www.allmusic.com/composition/sonata-for-solo-cello-op-25-3-mc0002364823

 

Ysaÿe  Although Eugene Ysaye is known for his virtuosity on the violin, he apparently also studied the cello in his youth, and maintained a great love for the cello's sound. In fact, his compositions for cello comprise the second largest number of pieces in his catalogue (after those for violin, of course!). This Sonata for Solo Cello, Op. 28 was composed around the same time as his solo violin sonatas, and the similarities are certainly audible. What is perhaps more striking about this infrequently performed work is Ysaye's real grasp of cello technique and idiom. It is a difficult work, to be sure - on par with the violin sonatas - which may explain why so few cellists perform it regularly. However, it possesses a rich, dark beauty that accents the existing charm of the cello's depth... -Henle

 

Cassadó The Suite, like the Cello Concerto and the Piano Trio, came from one Cassadó's most prolific periods, in the mid-1920s. It consists of three dance movements: Preludio-Fantasia (a Zarabanda); Sardana; and Intermezzo e Danza Finale (a Jota). The first movement includes quotations from Zoltán Kodály's Sonata for Cello Solo, Op. 8, and the famous flute solo from Maurice Ravel's ballet Daphnis et Chloé. The sardana of the second movement is a traditional dance from Catalonia.
