Recensie




De Amerikaanse celliste Alisa Weilerstein, door de BBC al omschreven als een van de meest markante solisten van haar generatie, buigt zich na eerdere albums met werken van Dvorak, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Elgar en kortere cellostukken over de twee celloconcerten van Shostakovich. Net als in haar opname van het celloconcert van Elgar, biedt Weilerstein een benadering die wars is van valse effecten of overdreven sentiment, waardoor zeker het weinig gespeelde eerste celloconcert enorm aan zeggingskracht wint. Aanrader. (

Shostakovich: Cello Concertos Nos. 1 & 2


Shostakovich:
Cello Concerto No. 1 in E flat major, Op. 107
Cello Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 126

Alisa Weilerstein (cello)
Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Pablo Heras-Casado


It was in Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto that ‘cellist Alisa Weilerstein prompted the Los Angeles Times to marvel: “Weilerstein’s cello is her id... She and the cello seem simply to be one and the same.”

Alisa returns with Shostakovich’s cello masterworks – Concertos 1 & 2

Composed for the virtuosic cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, the coupling and contrasting of these two arresting works is irresistible: the anti-heroic, relentless, emotionally suppressed First Concerto set alongside the sarcasm and isolation of the Second.

Weilerstein’s interpretation is underpinned by her meeting Rostropovich –a close friend of the composer – when she was 22, playing Shostakovich for him and absorbing his advice and wisdom.

Her outstanding rapport with conductor Pablo Heras-Casado and the Symphonieorchester Bayerischen Rundfunks is evident in this new recording.
