4.0 out of 5 stars
An overly varied program, 21 April 2005
By Jude Ziliak - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bloch; Bruch; Schumann - Works for Cello & Orchestra (Audio CD)
I won a copy of this CD in a random drawing held by the Strad magazine, which gave me the double excitement of getting a free CD and receiving mail from London. That prejudice aside, this is really an excellent disc. Bravo to Mork, Jarvi, and the Orchestra de Radio France for putting together such an idiosyncratic program and for pulling it off so well. I had heard all three works before, but never listened to them closely; Yo Yo Ma's recording of the Schumann had put me off of that piece. Mork has a much finer grasp on it than Ma, negotiating gracefully Schumann's knotty phrases and by intelligent analysis bringing out the lyricism of a piece that, when approached in a more straightforward manner, sounds pedantic and overly difficult. The OP de RF does a really fine job, playing gorgeously and supporting the soloist quite well. The sound quality is good, too.
The juxtaposition of the Bruch and Bloch pieces with the Schumann is simply bizarre. Perhaps it was the performers' intention to bring out the expressive, accessible qualities of the Schumann and de-emphasize the occasional maudlin of the other two; for me, though, the contrast is too much. I cannot listen to this disc straight through. I have to listen either to the Schumann alone, or to the other two alone.
That said, Mork's playing in all three is brilliant. His playing is elegant in a way reminescent of Milstein's on the violin, but though he lacks Milstein's transcendent technique, he possesses an almost eery individualized tone, which is an integral part of his remarkably polished playing. His suavity is in no way old-fashioned, but it feels almost aristocratic-- even as his performance seems to "popularize" the Schumann Concerto. Bravo.
