Isserlis has waited 40 years to record this pinnacle of the repertoire, and here with his regular collaborators, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Daniel Harding, this long gestation has proved to be overwhelmingly fruitful. Isserlis writes of the concerto that \\u2018the power of its emotional journey, expressed with Dvorak\\u2019s characteristically folk-like simplicity and directness, offers an irresistible mix of the epic and the touchingly confessional\\u2019. The combination of emotional power and simplicity is also a feature of Isserlis\\u2019s playing, and part of what makes him such a consummate performer of this work.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThis album puts Dvorak\\u2019s B minor cello concerto in context, including not only the original ending, but an orchestral version of the song Lasst mich allein which is quoted in the concerto\\u2019s second and third movements.\\r\u003cbr\u003eIsserlis has also recorded a version of Dvorak\\u2019s first cello concerto, a little-known work from the composer\\u2019s early period which he never orchestrated. This version (in what is almost definitely its premiere recording) is by German composer Gunter Raphael, whose works were performed by Furtwangler among others, and is extensively rewritten from the composer\\u2019s original. To turn to Isserlis\\u2019s own words again: \\u2018Of course, it is not a masterpiece on the level of the later B minor concerto; but is it fair to lock up an older child just because their younger sibling is a genius? I love the A major concerto for the beauty of its melodies, for the freshness of its inspiration, for its typically rustic spirit\\u2014and for the sense of sheer joy that bubbles through the entire work.\\u2019\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Concerto in B minor\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; Op 104 | Allegro [14'52]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Concerto in B minor\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; Op 104 | Adagio ma non troppo [11'29]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Concerto in B minor\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; Op 104 | Allegro moderato [13'04]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Lasst mich allein\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; Op 82 No 1 \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;arranged for orchestra\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; by B LEOPO\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Concerto in B minor\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; (original ending) Op 104 [1'32]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Concerto in A major\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; B10 \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;revised and orchestrated\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; by G\\xc3\\x9cN\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Concerto in A major\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; B10 \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;revised and orchestrated by\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; G\\xc3\\x9cN\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Cello Concerto in A major\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt; B10 \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;revised and orchestrated by\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; G\\xc3\\x9cN\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55159403544961,"sku":"683548","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51h61ZRQBhL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767976220","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/683548","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
