Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Natalie Clein adds a remarkable collection of Saint-Saensu2019 music for cello and orchestra to her impressive discography. Clein first came to prominence when she won the BBC Young Musician of the Year award in 1994; it is appropriate that she performs the music of an extraordinary child prodigy.rThe first cello concerto has always been one of Saint-Saensu2019 most popular pieces, Casals choosing it for his London debut in 1905. It is a gloriously playful piece that carries the listener along on a melodic and emotional rollercoaster, from the jaunty opening to the eloquence of the second movement minuet, with a persistent yearning threading its way throughout. The second concerto will be less familiar to listeners. The soloist for whom it was written, Joseph Hollman, was an energetic, muscular player and Saint-Saens seems here to turn his back on the suave style of the first concerto. When Saint-Saensu2019 pupil and friend Gabriel Faure chose the concerto as a Conservatoire test piece, the composer was duly grateful, but admitted u2018it will never be as well known as the first; itu2019s too difficultu2019. This it certainly is, with many solo passages, huge leaps and runs that require two staves to accommodate them, and a large amount of doublestopping. Natalie Clein meets these challenges with marvellous technique, musicianship and the passion for which she has become so well known.
