Max Beitan represents a new way of unique individual interpretation in the art of the cello.
His expression on the cello is synthesis of belcanto and a “speaking” technique. Listening to his collaboration with the instrument it seems to us that he sometimes sings and sometimes just speaks. Thanks to his energetic interpretations and a winning personality, his concerts leave a unique impression.
Beitan's signature piece is the Carmen Fantasy by Buxton Orr. He has a special interest in extending his repertoire: he made himself virtuosistic transcriptions of Opera fantasies, Fritz Kreisler's and Jascha Heifetz's music, as well as film music that he often presents in his concert programs.
Max Beitan is playing on a David Tecchler and Antonio Stradivari cellos.
