Raphael Wallfisch...an "exhilarating experience" in Auckland
2.11.09
Raphael Wallfisch's recent performance in Auckland of Dohnanyi's 1904 Konzertstuck was described as an "exhilarating experience" by the New Zealand Herald.
"This score matches moments of Straussian opulence with the sort of harmonic swoons that Erich Korngold would export to Hollywood, making Wallfisch's essentially restrained interpretation highly effective. When he delivered full-on intensity in the adagio, it was gripping; the cadenza, with solo cello weaving through the orchestral cello section, was evanescent magic." Read more here.
