Lalo (1823-1892)

Description:

An album by Jan Vogler, one of Germany's most mature cellists, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pablo Casals' death. World premiere recordings of the Lalo, which Casals frequently played on the 200th anniversary of his birth, and the Cello Concerto by Enric Casals, Pablo Casals' younger brother. This is the latest disc by Jan Vogler, one of Sony Classical's leading cellists, who regularly releases albums with rich content. Fogler has organized a chamber music festival in Moritzburg, near Dresden, and his albums capturing the essence of the festival have been highly acclaimed. The orchestra is a world-class group of musicians from all over the world. The orchestra is the Festival's orchestra, organized by the best young musicians from all over the world and conducted by Josep Cavalier-Domenec. Edouard Lalo's (1823-1892) famous "Cello Concerto in D minor," dedicated to the Belgian cellist Adolphe Fischer, is an outstanding work with Spanish sentiment and hints of Beethoven and Schumann, and a lively dialogue between orchestra and soloist. The year 2023 is also the 200th anniversary of Lalo's birth. Lalo was French, but of Spanish ancestry, and this piece was frequently performed by Pablo Casals.Enrique Casals (1892-1986), brother of the famous cellist Pablo Casals (1876-1973), was an excellent violinist, conductor, and talented composer. His colorful "Cello Concerto in F major" was composed in 1946, with a strong allusion to the sea and Catalonian nature. The last movement is in the form of a sardana, a Catalan folk dance often performed by Pablo Casals. Despite its distinctive Catalan character, it is very clearly influenced by late German Romanticism. Sony Music
