Elgar Cello Concerto Pierre Fournier Berlin Philharmonic Alfred Wallenstein (1966/2017)

[@guillermoantoniocervinowoo2592]

Voici comme ce concerto DOIT être joué, avec une sobriété toute britannique et une intériorité brûlante, sans chichis ni maquillage, loin des modes pleurnichardes d'aujourd'hui, mais en vérité. Merci!

Exactement.

[@douglaskelly1394]

The finest recording of this concerto! it has integrity, cohesiveness, and momentum. It's a shame that this recording went down the maelstrom of oblivion ever since the rise of the Du Pré lunacy.

[@inboxmail2053]

Totally agree with you. JDP largely a product of record company overhyping. Similarly, Menuhin, Lang Lang, Pavarotti et al.

[@kennethdower7425]

@davveist g Lunacy is correct. Du Pré introduced an indulgent vulgar take on the Elgar concerto that has infected growing minds to this day.

[@jmbechtel]

​@@kennethdower7425 "Vulgar" seems a bit harsh, but hey, it's healthy to have an opinion. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Du pré was overhyped by the brit press as they did with Kathleen Ferrier.

Best performance of this piece I've heard. Elgar would be pleased. Superb.

Magnífica interpretació de la millor de les composicions d'Elgar!

[@fulviopolce9785]

Apoteosi del concerto post romantico (insieme al concerto di Dvorak). Stupenda prestazione . Gran bel post.

La più bella seduzione di questo bellissimo concerto paolo gentile de nittis

[@jjgghhjk]

el sonido!

[@kennethdower7425]

*THIS* is one of the great recordings of the Elgar concerto. Forget du Pré, but Navarra with Barbirolli and Fournier here, along with Tortelier and Sargent are supreme in this work, the latter probably being the greatest.
