Sebastian Klinger and the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie under Marzena Diakun bring together a compelling selection of Romantic works for cello and orchestra: Schumann’s deeply expressive Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129, alongside Max Bruch’s lyrical pieces Kol Nidrei, Canzone, and Ave Maria. Schumann’s concerto, born from a moment of creative exhilaration, unfolds with poetic intensity as its movements flow seamlessly into one another, illuminated by the cello’s warm, human voice. Bruch’s works, by contrast, shine with heartfelt melody and emotional immediacy – music that speaks directly to the soul. Sebastian Klinger, one of the outstanding cellists of his generation, combines technical brilliance with a uniquely rich tonal palette. Together with the DRP, he brings Romanticism to life in its most compelling form: intimate, passionate, timeless.
