Inspiration

One of the brightest young stars in classical music, teenage cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, teams up with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla for his debut album.

Recorded in Birmingham and Sheku’s hometown of Nottingham during two CBSO concerts conducted by Gražinytė-Tyla, the album features Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No.1 – the piece which propelled Sheku to fame as the first black winner of BBC Young Musician in the competition’s 38-year history.

Sheku has been on a whirlwind adventure since winning BBC Young Musician 2016 – performing Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ at the BAFTAs in front of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, playing at 10 Downing Street as part of the 30th anniversary of Black History Month, and making his BBC Proms debut as a soloist with Chineke! – Europe’s first majority BME (black and minority ethnic) orchestra – with the video of his performance going viral. All this whilst completing his A-Levels, graduating from Trinity School in Nottingham and starting his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Product description

The cellist personally invited by Meghan Markle to play at The Royal Wedding!

Sheku Kanneh-Mason on performing at The Royal Wedding: “It was such an awesome moment – just really incredible to perform for Prince Harry and Meghan at their wedding! The atmosphere was amazing and I’m proud to have played a small part in the celebrations. It’s a day I will remember for the rest of my life”

Sheku made chart history with his debut album, ‘Inspiration’, which was released earlier this year on Decca Classics and features his personal selection of music – from Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No.1 to Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman, No Cry’. It was recorded in Birmingham and his hometown of Nottingham with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla.

Sheku’s version of Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman, No Cry’ went viral worldwide and he became the first BBC Young Musician winner to enter the Official UK Albums Chart with a debut recording, as well as the youngest cellist ever to reach the Top 20. He is one of this year’s biggest breakthrough artists – across any genre.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason has garnered huge critical acclaim for his performances with The Times describing him as “spellbinding” and “magnetic”.

Class Act But......

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 September 2022

Verified Purchase

First of all let me say there is no doubting Sheku is a class act but...........Note to self....1 Do not play this CD when feeling depressed as you'll go down hill fast and 2 Don't ever fool yourself that you'll eventually get into Shostakovich, you won't and lets face it you barely know how to spell the guy's name. One of the cheeriest numbers on this CD is the interpretation of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, and that's saying something as that particular guy usually makes me cry in pain. Now if you read this review Sheku please don't take it personally as I'm sure you have a great future, and in fact I really liked your latest CD Song which I believe I gave five stars to. If I give this one more than three stars I'd be kidding myself. Never mind, there are plenty on here think this CD is great, and what do I know, just being a thick Geordie Philistine. I did like some of the tracks but they were all too short. So not for me this time.

Seriously: very good.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 June 2018

Verified Purchase

I surprised myself by enjoying this. I am more interested in musicians' work than in their life-stories, so when family members, watching some very beautiful young woman doing something important with some decent chap, woke me up for "the bit you will enjoy" I was grumpily determined to not enjoy it at all. To my embarrassment and astonishment I really did enjoy Sheku's contribution to proceedings. So I bought this, expecting to be disappointed, and I was wrong: there is nothing at all disappointing about this CD.

Truth to tell Sheku is a very talented musician who must surely become a top performer on the instrument he has chosen. His technique is excellent and he manages to put individuality into the music he plays without trivialising it in any way. And someone has had the generosity and good sense to lend him a cracking cello. So I am glad a billion people around the world nosed in on whatever that beautiful young woman and that decent chap were doing: Sheku Kanneh-Mason deserves the attention he most surely received.

This CD is worth a lot more than its price. Buy it! In the very unlikely event that you do not like it, be sure it will be turned into a decent amount of cash as soon as it gets put on the shelf of any charity shop.

In the modern style: "It's a win-win situation".

Or you can be an old Scrooge like me: save the music on an MP3 player, and then give the CD to the charity shop. Just try not to smirk before you get clear of the admiring, grateful, cooing you may receive from the good souls running the charity shop. (Really! Some of the immoral advice you get on anti-social media is beneath contempt.)

Not a fully calming experience but beautifully played

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 August 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this as I had seen and heard Sheku play at Prince Harry's wedding and thought he played beautifully. This was recorded a few months before the wedding and although it doesn't include any of the 3 tunes he played I thought I would buy it because I love to hear the cello. Everything was lovely until I got to Shostakovich - Cello Concerto No. 1, Op.107 which took up tracks 5-8. I'm not really a fan of Shostakovich and if I had been in a fragile mental state at the time, I think it would have sent me over the edge. The only other track I didn't like was Casals- Sardana. I guess I was hoping for some lovely calm cello music throughout and the 7 other tracks were really lovely for me. This is a good exhibition of how well young Sheku (17?) plays different styles of music and his interpretations of Bob Marley's No Woman, No Cry and Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah were very good.

A magical performance - a revelation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 April 2018

Verified Purchase

I love cello as an instrument. And his favorite cello players, Pablo Casals, Jacqueline Du Pre and Mstislav Rostropovich happen to be, also, my own. But unlike Du Pre and Rostropovich, I am familiar with Casals only through his performance of J.S. Bach's solo cello suites for which I rate him as best, at par with Paul Tortelier and Yo-Yo- Ma.

Though I find the specific recording as magnificent from beginning to end, still for reasons of discussion I wish to divide the disc broadly into two parts: the simpler one such as the folk songs and the varied, rich and complex one, in which the pride of place belongs to Shostakovitch's Cello Concerto No.1.

In the simpler one, I found the rendition as accomplished, seemingly effortless, unhurried, with a beautiful natural flow and a dream like character. But the real magic of the rendition came to its full fruition in Shostakovitch's cello Concerto No.1 when it captured to perfection its varied character from its high complexity and intensity to its serenity and all its varied hues and moods. I felt that a cello star was born.

A first disc to treasure.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 February 2018

Verified Purchase

For his first CD Sheku Kanneh-Mason has not opted for the obvious. Each of his choices pays homage to an artiste who has inspired him. Rostropovich led him to Shostakovich (the first concerto and the Gadfly nocturne). Casals is represented by two Catalonian pieces.He heard du Pre playing Le Cygne and she is also by chance named in Offenbach's Jacqueline's Tears. Guy Johnston, whose help and encouragement Sheku acknowledges, plays Casals' Sardana with him.Another track is shared by three of his fellow students.
The CBSO cello section is heard in four pieces whilst the whole orchestra, conducted by Mirga Grazinyte-Tyla, accompanies Sheku in Shostakovich's first cello concerto. You may or may not like this but the high quality of the performance is undeniable. The slow movement is hushed, delivered with gorgeous tone and very moving. The concerto is taken from performances in Birmingham and Nottingham. How did they even out the acoustics of two different concert halls? How did they eliminate the coughing and, especially, the applause, which must have been pretty shattering?
Highly recommended. Do the public know that Sheku has given some of his concert fees to his old school to help with the music teaching?
