Aldo Parisot, long acknowledged as one of the world's master cellists, has led the career of a complete artist, as concert soloist, chamber musician, recitalist, and teacher. He has been heard with the major orchestras of the world, including Berlin, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Rio de Janeiro, Munich, Warsaw, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh, under the batons of such eminent conductors as Stokowski, Barbirolli, Bernstein, Mehta, Monteux, Paray, de Carvalho, Sawallisch, Hindemith, and Villa-Lobos. As an artist seeking to expand his instrument's repertoire, he has given first performances of numerous works for cello, written especially for him by such composers as Carmago Guarnieri, Quincy Porter, Alvin Etler, Claudio Santoro, Joan Panetti, Ezra Laderman, Yehudi Wyner, and Heitor Villa-Lobos, whose Cello Concerto No. 2, written for and dedicated to him, was first given by Aldo Parisot in his New York Philharmonic debut. Since then he has appeared with the Philharmonic on nearly a dozen occasions. He created a sensation when he introduced Donald Martino's Parisonatina al'Dodecafonia at Tanglewood.
