Johannes Moser, the acclaimed German-Canadian cellist, presents a captivating exploration of twentieth-century cello concertos with his album "Lutoslawski & Dutilleux: Cello Concertos." Released on November 1, 2018, under the Pentatone label, this album showcases Moser's virtuosity and musical depth through the works of Witold Lutosławski and Henri Dutilleux.
The album features two monumental concertos: Lutosławski's Cello Concerto and Dutilleux's "Tout un monde lointain" (A Whole Distant World). These pieces, premiered in 1970, are considered gems of the twentieth century, a golden age for classical music. Moser is accompanied by the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Thomas Søndergård, delivering a powerful and nuanced performance.
The album spans 53 minutes, divided into two main works. Lutosławski's concerto is a single-movement piece, while Dutilleux's concerto is a five-movement work, each movement titled with evocative names like "Énigme" (Enigma), "Regard" (Gaze), and "Hymne" (Hymn). The concertos are scored for a full symphony orchestra with an extensive percussion section, adding layers of complexity and richness to the performances.
Johannes Moser's interpretation brings out the intricate details and emotional depth of these works, offering a fresh perspective on these modern classics. This album is a testament to Moser's artistry and his commitment to bringing lesser-known works to a wider audience. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises a rewarding listening experience.
