Cellist Paul Pulford, another Guelph native, is one of Canada’s finest musicians. Since his debut recital in Winnipeg in 1967, he has performed many of the great works for cello and orchestra with ensembles as diverse as the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Banff Festival Orchestra, Symphony Nova Scotia, Toronto Chamber Players, and Irish Radio Orchestra. Until recently, he was a member of the Penderecki String Quartet, with which he toured worldwide and recorded 21 CDs. Paul’s CD of the Complete Works for Cello and Fortepiano by Beethoven with pianist Boyd McDonald (EBS Germany) received rave reviews in a number of publications, including CONTINUO Magazine, which remarked, “In what is certainly the major period instrument release of Beethoven chamber music in many a year, Pulford and McDonald have completely blown the competition out of the water—there is simply no need to consider any other version, despite the many big-name cellists who have recorded this music.” His recital will be a great Finale to Guelph Musicfest 2008.
