Description
|
|
|
|
The voice of the cello is uniquely suited to the passion and melancholy that makes Russian music so alluring. Tchaikovsky's veneration of Mozart inspired the Rococo Variations, and the wistful Nocturne in D Minor, Op. 19, No. 4 is his own arrangement of a work for solo piano. Written for his true comrade Mstislav Rostropovich, Shostakovich's 1959 cello concerto expressed a renewal of musical freedom after the Stalinist era. "Bailey is well on his way to becoming a cello superstar. He certainly has what it takes: amazing technique, impressive musicality and stunning artistry…. These are wonderfully rich and lush readings that are never overplayed or excessively sentimental…. A glorious account of the concerto that brings out its vibrancy and vitality. And his playing of the Moderato is as eloquent, if not more so, than any other recorded performance of this movement now available."—Deseret News
