The much-anticipated album from a brilliant young American cellist marks one of the most exciting Decca Classics debuts in many years.
The conductor Daniel Barenboim has been a fervent supporter of Alisa Weilerstein’s extraordinary talent since he accompanied her in Elgar’s Concerto as part of the 2010 Europa Concert in Oxford, broadcast on TV across Europe. Together, they have made a recording of searing intensity.
Elgar’s Concerto is paired with a contemporary masterpiece by the doyen of American composers, Elliott Carter, whose work has often been championed by Barenboim.
