Our Take

Steven Isserlis and Connie Shih have teamed up to bring us "A Golden Cello Decade / 1878-1888," a collection of cello masterpieces from the late 19th century. This album is a veritable treasure trove of musical delights, showcasing the versatility and virtuosity of the cello in all its golden glory.

From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of Tchaikovsky's "Pezzo Capriccioso" to the fiery passion of Saint-Saëns' "Cello Concerto No. 1," Isserlis and Shih take us on a musical journey through some of the most iconic works of the era. Their dynamic interplay and impeccable technique make for a truly spellbinding listening experience.

But what sets this album apart is the unique and quirky selection of pieces. Who would have thought that a cello rendition of Brahms' "Hungarian Dance No. 1" could be so captivating? Or that Debussy's "Clair de Lune" could sound even more ethereal on the cello?

Isserlis' expressive phrasing and Shih's sensitive accompaniment breathe new life into these classic works, making them feel fresh and exciting once again. Whether you're a die-hard classical music fan or just dipping your toes into the genre, "A Golden Cello Decade / 1878-1888" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty and brilliance of the cello. This album is pure gold, baby!
