| | MIASKOVSKY Cello Concerto and Sonatas CELLO CLASSICS CC1012 [RB]: Classical CD Reviews- July 2004 MusicWeb(UK) |
| | Rudin’s Cello Classics recording is agreeably transparent: listen to the pizzicato at 2.15 in the allegro vivace of the Concerto. | | | The cello line is always prone to the elegiac strain and soon Miaskovsky returns to the magnetic pull exercised by the songful slowness of sweetened loss. | | | The Cello Concerto is chronologically bracketed by two of Miaskovsky's finest works - the Symphonies 24 and 25 both of which achieve the highest order of heroic symphonic expression. |

| | Trombones should be a particular problem in a cello concerto, since they play in the same range as the cello and thus would tend to obscure its sound in a way that they would not obscure, say, a violin's. | | | He finished the Concerto February 9, 1895, but in May, after the Dvorák family had gone home to Bohemia for good, Josefina died, and Dvorák inserted a slow elegy, based on the first part of the same song, into the finale as a tribute to her, just before the jubilant end. | | | The Concerto's wealth of good melodies is obvious, but it's easy to miss the inventive way the melodic material is continually transformed. |

| | Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 |
| | The Violin Concerto, composed between the two symphonies in 1910, was to remain his only completed concerto other than this one for cello, which is also part of another "tradition," that of the acknowledged masterwork that got off to a shaky start for one reason or another. | | | The Concerto is in simple lyrical and rondo forms. | | | Although the musical language of the work is unaffectedly classical, its forms are unlike those of any other concerto; conspicuously unlike, for instance, the elaborate design of Elgar's Violin Concerto. |

| | The Joachim Raff Society - Cello Concerto No.1 |
| | Beginning with the Violin Concerto No.1 in 1871, he went on to complete the Piano Concerto in 1873 and the first of his two Cello Concertos in 1874. | | | The centre of the movement is an extended lyrical passage, imaginatively orchestrated, based on both melodies and interrupted by tutti, after the second of which the cello cadenza begins, recalling the two main themes and the drum motif which has also been present throughout the movement. | | | After an opening horn contribution, the cello takes up the melody which has a lyrical but almost hesitant character and is unusually long breathed for Raff. |

| | Pro Arte: Schumann; Cello Concerto |
| | Moreover, the Cello Concerto is unusually concentrated; it needs several hearings for full appreciation of its compact form, its connections between movements - links of sonority and effect, including the wonderful opening sound of woodwind chords, pizzicato strings, and a lovely melody in the solo cello. | | | Both technically and emotionally it requires a soloist of mature musical instincts. | | | Clara played through it at the piano and wrote, in October 1851, "The romantic quality, the vivacity, the freshness and humor, also the highly interesting interweaving of violoncello and orchestra are indeed wholly ravishing, and what euphony and deep feeling one finds in all the melodic passages!" |

| | Concerto for cello, strings and percussion (1996) |
| | My Cello Concerto, then, displays the results of some of these concerns: it is a virtuoso piece for the cello, no doubt, but at various times, each member of the orchestra of strings and percussion is required to play in a solo capacity. | | | It’s always a pleasure to write a piece for specific musicians whose work one knows well, and this Concerto for cello, strings and percussion, written for Truls Mørk and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra is one such piece. | | | A short cadenza takes the cello to its top register against a filigree texture of violins and violas, which leads to an ornamented cello line. |

| | I have not played the concerto myself yet, but I have about a dozen of recording of it and was wondering why everyone is doing their own things in the first movement. | | | But just to quickly recap the situation with the "Haydn" D major concerto, we're caught between the Scylla of the authentic manuscript in Haydn's hand and the Charybdis of the complete impossibility that the music came from Haydn's mind. | | | The cello writing is similar -- Kraft no doubt showed Haydn what the cello could do -- but, IMHO, the music of the authentic Kraft works is much shallower than that of the D Major Concerto. |
