Description
|
|
|
|
The most beloved and respected cellist in the world performs the music of his adopted homeland. Ma did his own transcription of Gershwin's Three Preludes as well as Bernstein's early 1940s Clarinet Sonata, which he performs with pianist Jeffrey Kahane. Charles Ives' Trio for Violin, Cello, and Piano is the one with the delightfully delirious Scherzo that quotes a plethora of popular tunes (the movement's subtitle is "TSIAJ" or "This Scherzo Is a Joke"). "Bernstein's wartime Clarinet Sonata was arranged with the composer's authorization and is pure delight from start to finish: mild, melodious and ultimately high-spirited, it falls easily on the ear…. Scored, respectively, for 'Cello Solo' and 'Violin and Cello Obbligato' (the movement subtitles), [Leon Kirchner's] Triptych ends with a vigorous Presto. I would guess that Kodhly's highly demonstrative solo and duo sonatas lay somewhere at the back of Kirchner's mind, and yet the voice is individually distinctive, while [violinist] Lefkowitz and Ma tackle the middle piece as if their minds and fingers were one."—Gramophone
