Johannes Moser
WDR Sinfonieorchester Koln / Pietari Inkinen
Following his extraordinary, critically acclaimed recording of concertos by Martinu, Hindemith, and Honegger, the charismatic Johannes Moser returns with a stunning new release, featuring two of the most distinguished 20th century cello concertos.
Both works were originally composed for the great Mstislav Rostropovich. Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 was premiered in October 1959, and is characterized by vitality, humour and
virtuosity. The fourth movement sparkles, while achieving a sense of cyclic unity with its reminiscences of the first movement.
Britten's "Symphony for Cello and Orchestra" op 68 was premiered in 1964, with Rostropovich once again as soloist. As the title suggests, cello and orchestra are equal partners, creating what is at times, the clarity of chamber music.
This new recording continues Moser's stunning exploration of 20th century cello concertos while at the same time building upon his masterful interpretations of cello sonatas by the same featured composers, Shostakovich and Britten.
