Jacqueline du Pré (cello) BBC Symphony Orchestra The CD showcases Jacqueline du Pré whose recordings, notably of the Elgar Cello Concerto, are still major sellers in every market around the world. This BBC Legends release features one of her live performances of the Elgar at the 1964 London 'Proms' made six months prior to her commercial studio recording. The release also comprises two Du Pré performances which are totally new to her discography - the world premiere of the South African born Priaulx Rainier's Cello Concerto (from the same concert as the Elgar) and Edmund Rubbra's Cello Sonata in G minor from the Cheltenham Festival in 1962. Rubbra dedicated his cello sonata to William Pleeth, Du Pré's cello teacher. This CD recorded in excellent stereo (the Rubbra is mono) is a 'must have' purchase for the many Jacqueline du Pré fans in addition to hearing her in English music as well as in two works she never recorded before. Du Pré's BBC Legends's recording of the Dvorak Cello and Ibert Cello Concertos (BBCL41562) has been a best seller since its release. |

Natalie Clein (cello) Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Vernon Handley “Clein demonstrated the lyricism on which she’s building a solid reputation, her instrument … blossoming into a rich, burnished voice. Threads became soaring melodies, fragments made textural sense.” The Independent “Natalie Clien's opening statement is confident and clean: this is an Elgar with pace and portamento, but rather thin on poetry. The upside is the delightful selection of salon pieces at the end of this disc. In the impish La capricieuse and the touching Sospiri, we glimpse the mature, distinctive artist.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Daniel Müller-Schott (Gofriller cello 1700) Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, André Previn "Müller-Schott's expressive legato movingly captures the sadness and resignation of [Elgar's] adagio, but he can dazzle, too, in the restless semiquavers of the allegro molto section of the scherzo-like second movement. This is a deeply felt, freshly conceived reading of a much-recorded piece. No less desirable is his account of the Walton" Sunday Times Classical CD of the Week 18th June 2006 The Strad Selection | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
