Raphael Wallfisch

  • Raphael Wallfisch shows affinity for Weinberg Cello Concerto

    Oct 15th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, contemporary classical music, CPO, Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra, Lukasz Borowicz, Mieczyslaw Weinberg, Raphael Wallfisch

    At first blush, it may seem like a recording of Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s music doesn’t belong in the Cello Concertos by Exiled Jewish Composers series. After all, wasn’t Weinberg a Soviet composer? He was, but he very much belongs in this series. Weinberg was born in Warsaw. His family moved to Russia, and after the Revolution, […]

  • Raphael Wallfisch continues concerto cycle with Ben-Haim, Korngold, and Bloch

    Jan 2nd, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: BBC National Orchestra of Wales, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, contemporary classical music, CPO, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Ernest Bloch, Lukasz Borowicz, Paul Ben-Haim, Raphael Wallfisch

    This installment of Raphael Wallfisch’s innovative series features three very different composers. “Cello Concertos by Jewish Composers in Exile” is in its fourth volume. All three composers were Jewish, and all were forced from their homes. But not every work on this album is a concerto (sort of). The outlier is Ernest Bloch, represented by […]

  • Karl Weigl 1934 Cello Concerto present to the world

    Aug 7th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, CPO, Edward Rushton, John York, Karl Weigl, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Nicholas Milton, Raphael Wallfisch

    Volume two of CPO’s “Cello Concertos by Exiled Jewish Composers” features music by Karl Weigl. Given Weigl’s prominence in Vienna, it’s surprising he’s so little-known today. Weigl was Mahler’s rehearsal pianist. He co-founded a concert series with Arnold Schoenberg and Bruno Walter. He studied with Robert Fuchs and taught Wolfgang Erich Korngold. And yet he […]

  • Raphel Wallfisch brings home exiled concertos

    Jul 5th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Berthold Goldschmidt, CPO, Franz Reizenstein, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Nicholas Milton, Raphael Wallfisch

    This release marks the beginning of a new series from CPO. Cello Concertos from Exile features works by Jewish composers forced to flee Nazi Germany. This first release includes works by Fanz Rezeinstein and Berthold Goldschmidt, who both found refuge in the UK. It’s a deeply personal project for cellist Raphael Wallfisch. As he explains […]

  • Patric Standford Captures the Essence of England

    Jun 15th, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Concerto, contemporary classical music, David Lloyd-Jones, Naxos, Orchestral music, Patric Standford, Raphael Wallfisch, Royal Scottish National Orchestra

    Listening to the music of Patric Standford, other composers come to mind. The works flow smoothly and organically, like those of his teacher Edmund Rubbra. The skittering passages of the Prelude to a Fantasy sound like more tonal versions of those by Lutoslawski (who Standford also studied with). And over all of this, there’s a […]

  • Three World Premier Sonatas by Arnold Cooke

    Oct 15th, 2012 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arnold Cooke, CD Review, Chamber music, Morgan Goff, Naxos, Raphael Terroni, Raphael Wallfisch, Susanne Stanzeleit

    Arnold Cooke came to prominence in the 1930’s, along with Michael Tippett and Benjamin Britten. This disc presents three string sonatas written at various points in his career. The earliest work on the album is his Viola Sonata from 1937. Although the work features warm, elegiac passages, it’s a far cry from the viola music […]
