Favorite cello concertos in classic interpretations by the great French cellist, his first recording for DG which as long been considered by international critics as “the standard recommendation.”
“Fournier brings his customary nobility to [the Saint-Saens]…[Lalo’s] music is appealing and Fournier’s elegant approach makes the most of the attractive themes…[Kol Nidrei] is beautifully performed by Pierre Fournier, who is well supported by Jean Martinon. The early 1960s sound is excellent.” (Penguin Guide)
“The account of Bloch’s Schelomo from Fournier and Wallenstein is the work of two great cellists. Fournier, as one would expect, shows sovereign command over the solo part, while Wallenstein, himself an outstanding cello soloist until he traded bow for baton, conjures up a spellbinding accompaniment. Solomon is indeed magnificently arrayed in this rendition, and very much larger than life in his passions. The Berlin Philharmonic is in fine form in this warmly atmospheric recording, which is well balanced and has impressive impact.” (Ted Libbey, author of The NPR Guide)
