CD Reviews

A mixed bag...
Kurt Hoesly | Upper Midwest, USA | 01/02/2001
(3 out of 5 stars)

""Kol Nidrei" has long been one of my favorite 'cello solos... full of gut-wrenching emotion, passion, and techincally demanding. I was disappointed with the performance on this CD. Mr. Berger's interpretation seemed to me to be rather wooden in several sections, and therefore lost quite a bit of the piece's pathos."Cancona," the second piece on the CD is, in my opinion, the highlight of the recording. It has much more life and freedom of interpretation in the performance than "Kol Nidrei" does.The performances of the two other selections on the disc are quite average. Both the "Adagio" and "Ave Maria" are premiere recordings, and are not pieces with which I had heard prior to listening to this CD. Despite their unfamiliarity, I believe that both of them will eventually be recorded more often, and will undoubtedly have more vitality than they did in this recording."
