Discover the captivating world of classical chamber music with Raphael Wallfisch's stunning album, "Goldschmidt & Reizenstein: Cello Concertos." Released on July 6, 2018, under the CPO label, this album is a testament to Wallfisch's virtuosity and his dedication to promoting lesser-known works by Jewish composers.
The album features two cello concertos: one by Berthold Goldschmidt and the other by Franz Reizenstein. Goldschmidt's concerto, Op. 8, is divided into three movements: "Allegro ma non troppo," "Lento," and "Molto moderato." Reizenstein's concerto is presented in four movements: "Andante," "Caprice mélancolique," "Quasi sarabande," and "Tarantella." Each piece showcases Wallfisch's exceptional skill and the rich, expressive qualities of the cello.
Accompanied by the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and conducted by Nicholas Milton, Wallfisch delivers a performance that is both technically impressive and deeply moving. The album's duration of 56 minutes offers a concise yet fulfilling journey through these beautiful compositions.
This release is part of the "Voices in the Wilderness" series, which highlights the works of Jewish composers who faced adversity. Wallfisch's commitment to bringing these pieces to light is evident in his eloquent and heartfelt playing. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
Raphael Wallfisch, born in London in 1953, is a celebrated English cellist renowned for his extensive discography and his commitment to exploring the full range of classical music. With over 70 recordings to his name, Wallfisch is one of the most recorded classical artists in the world, showcasing his versatility and curiosity through a diverse repertoire that includes works by composers like Elgar, Vivaldi, and Myaskovsky. Born into a family of distinguished musicians, his mother Anita Lasker-Wallfisch and his father, a pianist, instilled in him a deep love for music. Wallfisch's passion extends beyond performing; he is also a dedicated educator, teaching masterclasses globally and holding professorships in Switzerland. His recordings, such as the First Cello Concerto for Chandos, have earned critical acclaim, solidifying his status as a leading figure in the classical music world.
