These three cello concertos reflect the different destinies of three Jewish composers and all use the cello’s full range of instrumental possibilities. The young prize-winning cellist Julian Steckel is a professor of the cello at the University of Rostock.
July 2011
“Intelligently programmed, very well engineered and stunningly played by both the orchestra and all importantly the soloist… What impresses and indeed
thrills me about Steckel’s playing is the range of colour and emotion he finds in this trio of rather wonderful score”
October 2011
“[Steckel] shows his mettle and musicianship very impressively in three contrasted Jewish concertante works, creating a firm, warmly full-bodied tone and easy virtuosity. He is absolutely at home in Bloch's richly lyrical and hauntingly langorous Schelomo...and here Daniel Raskin brings out the detail of the colourful accompaniment very tellingly...But it is in the Goldschmidt Concerto that Steckel has the opportunity to deliver real virtuosity”
