U.S. Steel Cello Ensemble - "Bitter Suites" Released by Rutman Records in 1979 on vinyl. NOTES The Bitter Suites are taken from recent performances by the US Steel Cello Ensemble. They are the result of an evolutionary refinement of instrument design and playing techniques which I have explored and developed over the past ten years. - Robert Rutman 1979 SIDE ONE recorded live August 21, 1979, The Showing Room, New York City Two bow chimes played by DAvid Zaig and Suzanne Bresler, single string cello played by Robert Rutman.
