Romance


Johannes Moser (cello)

Radio SO Stuttgart, Fabrice Bollon

These works are both sweepingly romantic and an acid test for any player’s technical finesse. Apart from the popular First Concerto and the ubiquitous “Swan”, Saint-Saëns composed a Second Cello Concerto in addition to several other shorter works for Cello and orchestra, most of which are seldom heard in performance. Stunning performances from the young start cellist, Johannes Moser.

Andreas Brantelid (cello)

Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, ichael Schønwandt

“The young Danish cellist Andreas Brantelid...makes his impressive recording debut with this combination of three classic 19th-century concertos. His playing - warm and supple of tone - has the lyrical allure, lithe technique and discreet dramatic flair to give this familiar music a fresh impetus, while his orchestral compatriots add a thoroughly integrated range of complementary colours that show a sympathetic response both to the soloist and to the music.” The Telegraph, 21st June 2008

“Andreas Brantelid, another brilliant cellist of the younger generation, plays this attractive group of works with an exceptionally wide tonal range. In the Rococo Variations he is magnetic throughout characterising each variation compellingly, with rubato finely controlled... first-rate sound.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008

“Here is a very promising cellist indeed. Schønwandt allows Brantelid space to dream in the Schumannm, which he does with supreme lyricism. Where the 20-year old is strongest is in music of limpid grace such as in the second movement of the Saint-Saëns and in the more languid Rococo Variations.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2008 ****
