I never heard about Nicolaus Kraft. These concertos for cello (there are at least 3 concertos available on YT) are really umporessive. The orchestral introduction is fully romantic. There is a deep felling in the soloist part. Thses concertos semms to me to mark a clear turn in the story of the romantic cello, which Beethoven evidenced as a soloist in chamber music through his five sonatas for cello and piano. These concertos are contemporary of the two last sonatas of Beethoven. It is a great discovery for me.

You're right. On Spotify you'll find only a Polonaise. Nothing on Primephonic. YT is more generous. Apparently he's not gotten enough interest even from whom is "unsung masterpieces" addicted. Wikipedia just says he wrote 6 concertos, so God knows what else he wrote that would be great to get back from obscurity. Paradoxically dad Antonin got a little more interest. He was a cellist too in the Haydn era. Interesting to compare dad and son cello works

I never heard of this guy before. And that's bizarre because hearing his works for the first time they are instantly likable. So why didn't N. Kraft "make it" to musical stardom?

Today the problem is that Kraft's last name is not Beethoven, Schubert, or any of the best known composers. Concert halls are deathly afraid of playing music like Kraft's because they might lose revenue.

@@brianknapp8645 IMO that's because more often than not said concert halls program "sound effects" by Ades, Schoenberg and others--conditioning people to not show up /unless/ the names are ones commonly recognized, such as Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, etc. Was at a concert a few years back where the "well known name" was on the first half of the program. A large percentage of the audience left at intermission--but the rest of the program was music by present-day composers. (Unfortunately, said remainder was also of rather tuneful selections.)

Is it me or does that cello sound badly out tune?
@TheYgds4 жыл бұрын
I don't think it is the cellist as much as it might be the woodwinds. It sounds like the cellist keeps adjusting to compensate for slightly out of tune sections. When the woodwinds are accompanying he is much more out of tune, when the strings are accompanying he is right where he should be for the most part. It is definitely something that you are supposed to correct well before beginning.
@borisbrinkmann2 жыл бұрын
No, he absolutely is. The music is rather difficult, but there are lots of cellists who would be able to play it more perfectly. But at least it's musically fine, and since we have only the choice to listen to this or to a famous cellist playing a famous concerto, we obviously have to be thankful to have this.

To be honest, speaking as a cellist myself, I wish these concertos had been recorded with more care from the soloist. Playing is so sloppy, lets the otherwise pretty decent music down in both this and his E minor concerto. Wish a top class soloist would dare to record these.

Too bad Jiří Hošek's recordings are the only ones of Kraft's 3 concertos. I so wish that the best known concert musicians would take up and champion more of these excellent but mostly ignored concertos. Then even some of concert halls here in the USA would have to put up with this music because the big name soloists performed it.
