For HQ video and stereo sound click herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz4bUSWtnOU&fmt=18This unauthorized recording was made by someone in Osaka Japan in 1978 during the Out of Blue Tour. I digitally remastered it to improve sound quality. I made a video montage of Hugh playing his cello. This track proves that the Wembley Concert video was edited for TV time slots and removed at least five songs from the concert set. Hope you enjoy it! [ More Detail ]

Starting in a moderate speed and getting faster and faster, the story of the Tarantella goes back to the bite of the Tarantula spider of the Mediterranean. When you have been bitten, you have to dance the Tarantella - otherwise you might die! In part A the spider approaches with all the drama. In part B everything seems pleasant and alright again. The at the return of part A the poison sets in and the speed gets faster up to a frenzy. At the end chords the poor bitten victim collapses into the healing coma due to having danced the Tarantella - the cellist is released.

This traditional Romantic favorite for guitar by Anonymus I performed often on guitar (and recorded on my solo guitar CD: http://cdbaby.com/cd/gmmoussa2 ). I imagined it could be played on an instrument with a fuller sound. Guitarist have told me, they prefer my cello version, which I am quite proud of. This composition/transcription is part of a program dedicated to the concert venue, the Cathedral Chamber at Jenolan Caves, reputed for the world's finest acoustics. All pieces have not been heard on cello anywhere else.

"It always intrigued me to transcribe this piece for cello. I had performed it often on guitar (recorded on my CD http://cdbaby.com/cd/gmmoussa2 ) but wanted to hear it on cello. I transcribed bar by bar, waiting for the obstacles to arise. To my surprise the complete piece suited the cello as well as the guitar - I though needed to substitute typical guitar phrases with possible cello techniques (the original is for piano and sounds pretty boring). I find, the slow middle part sounds on cello better than I have heard it on any other instrument."
