“…my star item from the whole set is the Schumann Cello Concerto with the Leningrad Philharmonic under Rozhdestvensky: here Rostropovich generates a natural impetus while bringing subtle nuance to the melancholic melodic lines. The effect is magnificent - tortuously yearning yet in equal measure divinely beautiful.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 *****  BBC Music Magazine

| |  | For Comfort, Joy and Inspiration
Funseth summarises her motivation for this sensuous recording in the following words: “To me, the concerts at Karlberg castle and the privilege of working alongside so many outstanding musicians have been inspiring. They have been enormously important to me. At every concert, we have always tried to stimulate the imagination, to entertain, even to charm the audience during the twilight hours of a late summer evening – when there’s only time for music and words are not enough On this CD I’ve collected some of the most beautiful and intimate piano pieces I know, pieces for consolation, pieces for joy and inspiration. And I dedicate them to my late husband, Ulf Hjelmquist, a constant source of support and encouragement. | | | (also available to download from $11.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
