Roberts - Nonextraneous Sounds

Mariel Roberts has emerged as one of the most electrifying cellists on the New York scene. Her debut CD, no extraneous sounds, is an audacious statement from a fearless musician. Where others might play it safe, Mariel tests the limits of contemporary cello technique in a group of five exhilarating solo works by young, up and coming NY composers, all commissioned especially for Mariel.
