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.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe first cello concerto has always been one of Saint-Saens\\u2019 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-Saens\\u2019 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; it\\u2019s too difficult\\u2019. 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.\u003cp\u003eCello Concerto No.1 in A minor Op 33 Allegro non troppo [5'53]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCello Concerto No.1 in A minor Op 33 Allegretto con moto [5'02]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCello Concerto No.1 in A minor Op 33 Tempo primo [8'53]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCello Concerto No.2 in D minor Op 119 Allegro moderato e maestoso - Andante sostenuto [11'27]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCello Concerto No.2 in D minor Op 119 Allegro non troppo - Cadenza - Tempo 1 - Molto allegro [6'26]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa muse et le po\\xc3\\xa8te Op 132 [15'39] with Antje Weithaas violin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro appassionato Op 43 [3'57]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe cygne [2'31] Natalie Clein cello, Julia Lynch, Judith Keaney piano\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55148277137793,"sku":"761992","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51Dx2NlSc0L._SL1500_e84c4c2a-308e-451a-beaa-dd912407c6a5.jpg?v=1767819606","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/761992-1","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
