DOHNÁNYI, ENESCU & D'ALBERT Cello Concertos


“Heart-warming lyrical melodies, as well as characteristically resourceful orchestration, abound in the Dohnányi Konzertstück… Gerhardt's warmly recorded performance lays claim to being the most convincing of all… Eugen d'Albert also pursues the stylistic path of Brahms in his C major Cello Concerto. Once again, Gerhardt acquits himself admirably, making light work of the technical hurdles... Enescu's inexplicably neglected Symphonie Concertante is projected with the utmost conviction by Gerhardt and Kalmar and provides a fitting climax to a totally absorbing release.” --BBC Music Magazine, September 2005 *****




“The lush lyricism and engaging virtuosity of the idiomatic solo writing is graced by a quite superb soloist of whom I hope we shall be hearing much more” --Classic FM Magazine
