Khachaturian - Cello concerto
Raphael Wallfisch plays superbly, achieving a near-miraculous pizzicato espressivo in the opening and closing
pages of the first movement ... Wallfisch gives it his all - eloquence, range of colour, fine control of the
long phrase. It makes very enjoyable listening.
Gramophone
This disc is an absolute winner ... Wallfisch and Thomson turn in a reading of fiery intensity ... I cannot
overemphasize the importance of this issue. The sound is spectacular, the music well worth attention, and
the performances are all that can be asked.
