Album information
A FINE RENDITION OF TWO ICONIC WORKS FOR CELLO AND ORCHESTRA
Johannes Moser’s acclaimed interpretation of Elgar’s profoundly elegiac and lyrical Cello Concerto and Tchaikovsky’s elegant Rococo Variations returns to the market in an affordable stereo edition. The programme furthermore contains Tchaikovsky’s Nocturne and Morceau de Concert for Cello and Orchestra, as well as an arrangement of the famous Andante cantabile from his First String Quartet. Performed together with Orchestre de la Suisse Romande under the baton of Andrew Manze, Moser’s rendition was praised by Gramophone as “one of the finest we’ve had in years.”
This album is a re-released version of PTC5186570 (first released in 2017 as a SACD).
