“Van Gogh’s paintings of Sunflowers are among his most famous. He did them in Arles, in the south of France, in 1888 and 1889. Vincent painted a total of five large canvases with sunflowers in a vase, with three shades of yellow ‘and nothing else’. In this way, he demonstrated that it was possible to create an image with numerous variations of a single colour, without any loss of eloquence.”

Good day to you. I used to play this on the piano. I have never heard it as a cello solo. How beautiful and relaxing. I just love cello music and Hauser is always an excellent choice. I wish you a wonderful week. Happy Monday.
