In the November issue of BBC Music Magazine ‘The Recovery of Paradise: Blackford Cello Concerto’ with
Alisa Weilerstein, Czech Philharmonic and maestro Tomáš Netopil was awarded a Five Star Review.
BBC Music Magazine described the performance of the concerto as “delivered with electric energy and virtuosity by Weilerstein”, “Elements of mysticism colour the delicate orchestration, delivered expressively by the Czech Philharmonic under Tomáš Netopil” and “Weilerstein’s Autumnal tones eloquently sing a beautiful melody in ‘The Recovery of Paradise’, again soaring to the high registers as the landscape breathes recovery after rain. By turns tender and intensely burnished, the narrative gently subsides and new life springs forth”.
‘The Recovery of Paradise: Blackford Cello Concerto’ is out now.
