Dvořák Jacqueline du Pré Chicago Symphony Orchestra Daniel Barenboim - Cellokonzert Op 104 Waldesruhe Op 68

Review by Carmelo Gonzalez

The album "Cellokonzert Op 104 Waldesruhe Op 68" by Dvořák, featuring Jacqueline du Pré, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Daniel Barenboim, is a masterpiece of classical music that showcases the talents of all involved.

The cello concerto Op. 104 is a stunning work that demands both technical virtuosity and emotional depth from the performer, and du Pré delivers in spades. Her playing is both powerful and nuanced, with a rich, warm tone that perfectly captures the melancholic beauty of Dvořák's music.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Barenboim, provides a lush and expressive accompaniment that perfectly complements du Pré's playing. The orchestra's playing is full of energy and passion, and they bring out the full range of colors and emotions in Dvořák's music.

In addition to the cello concerto, the album also includes "Waldesruhe Op. 68," a hauntingly beautiful piece for cello and orchestra. Once again, du Pré's playing is nothing short of breathtaking, and the orchestra provides a sensitive and supportive accompaniment.

Summary by Carmelo Gonzalez

"Cellokonzert Op 104 Waldesruhe Op 68" is a must-have for any fan of classical music. The combination of du Pré's incredible cello playing, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's lush accompaniment, and Dvořák's beautiful music is simply unbeatable.
