Kabalevsky: Cello Concerto No.2, Novelette; Prokofiev: Cello Sonata Op.119, Waltz, March, Adagio

Cellist Leonard Elschenbroich's Onyx début of sonatas by Rachmaninov and Shostakovich was greeted with universal praise by critics worldwide. For his second release, he gives a blistering performance of the little-known second Cello Concerto of Kabalevsky with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra under Andrew Litton. Recorded live in the Concertgebouw, it reveals this powerful concerto to be a neglected masterpiece worthy of a regular place in the repertoire.
