Fournier - Elgar & Dvorak Cello Concertos
) | Label: MEDICI ARTS Catalog: MM0282 Format: CD Pierre Fournier - Cello, Cologne Radio SymphonyOne of the most admired and respected cellists of the 20th century, Pierre Fournier was in his prime in the period of the 1950s and early 1960s. He is heard on a Medici Arts CD (MM028-2) in the Elgar and Dvorak Concertos in live performances with the Cologne Radio Symphony. Hans Rosbaud conducts the Elgar (1955) and George Szell the Dvorak (1962). Fournier’s recordings of both for DG are available but these live renditions are clearly better representations of this superb cellist and musician. Great sound. Reviewed by Bruce Surtees.
