LUTOSLAWSKI – BLOCH

From the lyricism of Bloch’s Schelomo to 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.
