Robert Schumann Ernest Bloch Cello André Navarra, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Karel Ančerl - Concerto For Violoncello Schelomo

Review by Amy Yannello

The album Concerto For Violoncello Schelomo by Robert Schumann Ernest Bloch Cello André Navarra, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Karel Ančerl is a true masterpiece of classical music. The combination of the stunning cello performance by André Navarra, the impeccable conducting of Karel Ančerl, and the flawless playing of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra creates a truly magical listening experience.

The album features two pieces - Robert Schumann's Cello Concerto in A minor and Ernest Bloch's Schelomo: Rhapsodie Hébraïque. Navarra's cello playing is exceptional, with his deep and rich tone perfectly capturing the emotion and intensity of both pieces. His technical skill is evident throughout, especially in the challenging passages of Schumann's concerto.

The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Karel Ančerl, provides a beautiful and nuanced accompaniment to Navarra's cello. The orchestra's playing is precise and sensitive, with each section contributing to the overall texture and emotion of the music.
