"... (Weilerstein) clambers energetically into music of the past 100 years with highly physical works ... a formidable programme ..."
- The Independent
On this highly-anticipated solo album from American cello superstar Alisa Weilerstein, she underscores her role as an instrumentalist with something deeply personal to say. The centerpiece of the album is the MacArthur Fellow’s interpretation of Zoltán Kodály’s classic Sonata for Solo Cello. This deluxe edition also includes György Ligeti’s Sonata for Solo Cello and Britten’s Tema Sacher, as well as Prokofiev’s March from Music For Children arranged for solo cello by Gregor Piatigorsky.
“I wanted to record some of my favourite pieces and each one of them has a folk element, a fantasy element and a meditative element. Recording a solo disc was an immensely satisfying, if terrifying, experience. I find audiences are so responsive to this repertoire, as it’s visually dramatic to watch as well as hear, with me using every possible technique all over the instrument.”
- Alisa Weilerstein
