Boccherini: Cello Concertos Nos. 9-12
Raphael Wallfisch, Luigi Boccherini, ...

Naxos, 2005

Boccherini
When I first heard,Bacherini, I thought it was Vivaldi's music. After listening to a few of his recordings, I see him as a Vivaldi with a vaster horizon. His music is beautiful and passionate. His soul explores many dimentions and he represents the art work of a ...
  
  











  



  
Delius: Paris, the Song of a Great City; Double Concerto; Cello Concerto

Violin Concerto / Cello Concerto
Kabalevsky, Mordokovitch, ...

Chandos, 2002

Dynamic Music
Kabalevsky does not receive the appreciation that he should. I have heard people say that he's simplistic and wasn't nearly as good as his contemporaries such as Prokofiev and Shostakovich. However, simplistic is not the right word, I would describe him as one of the ...
  
  











  



  
The Best of Vivaldi
Frantisek Hermann, Raphael Wallfisch, ...

Naxos, 1997

A solid 5 out of 5
This is an exciting album that showcases a relatively small collection of Vivaldi's MASSIVE output. At the last count, there were something like over 600 concertos to his name!! Given this, I believe that Naxos has done a brilliant job of compiling this album, ...
  
  











  



  
Vivaldi: Cello Concerti, Vol. 1
Raphael Wallfisch, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

Naxos, 1995

Wonderful performances and warm sound
This is volume 1 of a 4-volume set on the Naxos label comprising all of Vivaldi's 27 cello concertos. I have only heard volumes 1 and 2, so cannot fairly evaluate 3 and 4 yet, but I can tell you that the first two volumes are terrific performances of this wonderful ...
  
  











  



  
Stanford: Six Irish Rhapsodies; Piano Concerto No. 2; Down among the Dead Men

Vivaldi: Cello Concerti, Vol. 4
Raphael Wallfisch, Shuna Wilson, ...

Naxos, 1995

As ideal as you are ever likely to find.
I haven't found a dud amongst the Naxos Vivaldi issues yet. This CD is the fourth and final in a complete set of the Cello Concerti. Far from being a dud, this CD, and its companion volumes are as ideal as you are ever likely to find. The all English personnel, ...
  
  











  



  
Vivaldi: Cello Concerti, Vol. 3
Joanna Graham, Raphael Wallfisch, ...

Naxos, 1995

Superb Volume of Vivaldi Cello Concertos
This is Volume 3 in a set of four excellent discs of Vivaldi's fine Cello Concerti. All four of these CDs are very good indeed, but arguably this one is the best of the bunch. The soloist is Raphael Wallfisch, who consistently plays very well. The City of London ...
  
  











  



  
Violin Concerto / Cello Concerto
Khachaturian, Mordkovitch, ...

Chandos, 2002

A spectacular performance by Wallfisch!
Raphael Wallfisch captures the essence of Khachaturian's cello concerto perfectly! I have never heard a better performance of the piece. His playful, lyrical tones beautifully fit the spirit of the Russian composer's music. I bought this album solely to hear Wallfisch, ...
  
  











  



  
Vivaldi: Cello Concerti, Vol. 2
Keith Harvey, Raphael Wallfisch, ...

Naxos, 1995

Masterful performances of gorgeous pieces.
All four volumes of these twenty-seven Vivaldi cello concerti are masterfully and sensitively performed. The style of Vivaldi pours through the flawless playing of both the orchestra and soloists. The tempi chosen for each movement seem to bring out the most in the ...
  
  











  



  
Paul Hindemith: Concerto for Cello & Orchestra (1940) / Theme & Four Variations "The Four Temperaments" (1940)
Yan Pascal Tortelier, BBC Philharmonic, ...

Chandos, 1993

Excellent Recording
Although the Cello Concerto is the primary offering, I bought this album to get The Four Temperaments. As lovers of Hindemith's music know, it is very difficult to find a decent version of this music. This particular version is very well performed and the recording is ...
  
  











  



  
The Very Best of Vivaldi
Keith Hurvey, Raphael Wallfisch, ...

Naxos, 2005

Excellent!
One of my favorite classical composers. And not having the physical CD is great. Downloading is a huge convenience to me and worth it. I do not want or need a CD taking up space.
  
  











  



  
Barber: Cello Concerto; Shostakovich: Cello Concerto No. 1
Raphael Wallfisch, Samuel Barber, ...

Chandos, 1992

Solid performance, OK sound
The English Chamber Orchestra plays both of these pieces with force and precision. The strings are as tight as in any performance you will ever hear, and the winds are musical and bright. The Barber is deep and nuanced, while the Shostakovich is played with ...
  
  











  



  
Naxos: Ten Years Of Success
Robert Holzer, Frantisek Herman, ...

Naxos, 1997
  
  











  



  
Martinu: Cello Concertos Nos. 1 & 2; Concertino
Raphael Wallfisch, Bohuslav Martinu, ...

Chandos, 1992

The First Cello Concerto was rewritten several times on the way to its final incarnation, and it's a major addition to the small but distinguished body of great music for cello and orchestra. The Second Concerto needs more persuasive advocacy. It's a big, Romantic work that can seem to hang fire unless given the right dose of urgency. I don't ...
