Jean-Guihen Queyras, Luxembourg Philharmonic & Gustavo Gimeno - Lutosławski: Concertos for Cello - for Orchestra, Bloch

From the lyricism of Bloch’s Schelomoto the modernity of Lutosławski’s Cello Concerto, together Jean-Guihen Queyras and Gustavo Gimeno explore the cello’s vocal qualities, ranging through prayers, cries and whispers. In response, the Polish composer’s Concerto for Orchestra is a celebration of collective vitality and exuberance. A voyage of discovery, from an inward song to an outburst of orchestral energy.
