classical music: Steven Isserlis     classical music:     Steven Isserlis      Brahms: Cello Sonatas Steven Isserlis, Johannes Brahms, ... Hyperion UK, 2006 STEPHEN AND STEVEN ARE A GREAT MUSICAL TEAM As I have previously expressed on this board, I feel that Stephen Hough and Steven Isserlis make a stupendous duo for chamber music. Individually they are, of course, masters of their chosen instrument. When they team up, the sparks DO fly in a most marvelous way. ...             Bach: The Cello Suites Steven Isserlis, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Hyperion UK, 2007 GROWING UP It was not until I reached some maturity that I fell in love with Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suites. Prior to that time, I really couldn't see why they were considered so very great. Well into my adulthood, I fell completely in love with the works considering them ...             Cello World Steven Isserlis, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... RCA, 1998 Other artists take note - THIS is how recitals are done. 'Cello World' is a model recital disc, conceived as a recreation of a typical turn-of-the-20th-century programme of short 'encore pieces'. Naturally, the bulk of the pieces privelege the essence of the cello, its deep, meditative, wistful melancholy - Schumann's ...             Children's Cello Steven Isserlis, Amy Beach, ... Bis, 2006 A DELIGHT What a lucky little boy Steven Isserlis's son must be. His father is a leading cellist in the world and is good friends with a leading pianist of the world (Stephen Hough).The aforesaid two musicians are well known as a splendid chamber music team! Obviously ...             Cello for Relaxation Saint-Saëns, Bruch, ... RCA, 2001 A Fine Way To Relax Currently I'm enjoying this cello music while in the car, as it lessens the stress of traffic. It contains a variety of cello pieces that have beauty and grace. As a cellist I appreciate the supurb execution of each piece. This CD is everything I hoped it would be.             Fauré: Complete Works for Cello David Waterman, Steven Isserlis, ... RCA, 1995 Sublime performances of some too-oft overlooked chamber gems When listening to any music, but classical music in particular, I live by the advice of some wise old public radio announcer (who I suspect also read Aaron Copland's bible on "What To Listen For In Music"): A great musical album is the combined product of 1.) ...             Steven Isserlis Plays Schumann Steven Isserlis, Woldemar Bargiel, ... RCA Victor Europe, 1997 5 papillons for Rasteven Isserlis--- this is heaven Quite simply : this is the greatest recording of the greatest Cello concerto that the world has ever known. Isserlis knows Schumann. His Cello bleeds the Davidsbundler Master into every passion-note. His collaborators here seem infected by the Schumann/Isserlis ...             Barber: Violin Concerto; Cello Concerto; Piano Concerto Steven Isserlis, Samuel Barber, ... RCA, 2005 A Winning Combo of Barber Concerti For those who want to one-stop-shop for Barber's three solo concerti, it doesn't get much better than this disc. Conductor Leonard Slatkin has a firm sense of the overall pulse in Barber's music; he rivals Marin Alsop in not allowing drama to overshadow lyricism. ...             John Tavener: The Protecting Veil/Britten: Cello Suite 3 - Steven Steven Isserlis, Benjamin Britten, ... Virgin Classics, 2006             Tchaikovsky: Piano Concertos 1-3, Concert Fantasy, Op. 56 Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky, Rudolf Barshai, ... EMI Classics, 2004 A Mozartean Touch Although Tchaikovsky's music is often performed in a wildly romantic vein, it seems important to point out that his musical idol was not Beethoven(like most romantics), but Mozart. Both the pianist and orchestra give refreshing interpretations of these pieces, which ...             Steven Isserlis - Haydn: Cello Concertos in C & D, Sinfonia Concertante Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Joseph Haydn, ... RCA Victor Europe, 1998 A beautiful recording In this recording of Haydn's two cello concertos, Steven Isserlis demonstrates his absolutely gorgeous tone combined with technical prowess and authentic style. Unlike most other recordings of the cello concertos, Isserlis performs with a small orchestra and takes a ...             Brahms for Relaxation Jules Eskin, Ralph Kirshbaum, ... RCA, 2000 Well produced Bargain! When I first noticed this bright red CD in the record store, the image struck me at first as rather odd looking. At the time I didn't know exactly what I was responding to; but thinking back now about what it was that I noticed, I would have to say that it was the name ...             Rachmaninov, Franck: Cello Sonatas Steven Isserlis, Cesar Franck, ... Hyperion UK, 2003 EYE OPENING I've always loved the Rachmaninov Cello sonata and Isserlis and Hough give it a spendid reading. However, the Franck has, in the past, rather bored me (whether it be with the violin or the cello); however, Stephen and Steven, in this recording, give it fire, passion ...             Martinu: Cello Sonatas Steven Isserlis, Bohuslav Martinu, ... Hyperion UK, 2004 really surprisingly good This was my first experience with this composer and I tried this as an experiment. The three sonatas on this CD put a lot of emphasis on rhythm and other than being roughly fast-slow-fast in lay-out are unconventional. There is an interesting variance of content and ...             Chausson: Concert; Ravel: Piano Trio; Fauré, Debussy, Franck: Violin Sonatas Joshua Bell, Ernest Chausson, ... Decca, 2005 French Romantic Chamber Music The chamber music literature of the French Romantic era is exceedingly rich and rewarding - even if its gems were not so well known through history.
