A superb performance of the Cello Concerto that combines elegant beauty with passion.
This performance of Dvorak's Cello Concerto by cellist Pierre Fournier and the Berlin Philharmonic under conductor George Szell is renowned for its grace and emotion.
Characterized by clear tones and exquisite ensemble, this recording exudes a dignified sound from the very beginning. Fournier's cello is soft and full of deep emotion without ever being overly strained. Szell's conducting is structured, masterfully directing the Berlin Philharmonic ensemble and bringing out the drama of the work. The climax of the final movement beautifully blends rising emotion with formal beauty. This is a definitive recording of Dvorak's work, combining intellectual beauty and poetry.
