Gavin Borchert, The Beat, KUOW Seattle, 8/7/01

"An informed performance; acrobatic yet always lyrical, giving the music great strength and a chance to breathe."

Product Description

"A really exciting approach to these concerti... There is an ebb and flow that makes these recordings quite satisfying... An informed performance; acrobatic yet always lyrical, at the same time giving the music great strength and a chance to breathe," says Gavin Borchert, reviewer for The Beat on KUOW Seattle and The Seattle Weekly. In a glowing review, broadcast August 7, 2001 on KUOW, Mr. Borchert praised Ms. Dillingham's performance of the Haydn Cello Concerti Nos. 1 and 2 on a variety of levels. An "excellent job, showing a rich, lush tone, dark and chocolate -- just a beautiful sound." "Ms. Dillingham and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra "The Seasons" produce amazing textures, achieving a taut, forward motion and excitement." "A sinewy, strong sound, yet with transparency... The best of both worlds: a luscious cello sound contrasting with focused precision and a penetrating tone."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Fresh Interpretation of These Concertos., April 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Haydn Cello Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 (Audio CD)

This recording showcases these Haydn Cello Concertos in a way I have not heard before. Ms. Dillingham's playing is strong, yet nuanced and sensitive. She brings a remarkable sense of atmosphere to these beautiful pieces. The Moscow Chamber Orchestra is also excellent, as is the sound quality of the CD.

This is Haydn in first rate exposition. Stirring and dignified performance. I'm not a professional musician -- but this is a great performance and one I will listen to often with great pleasure.
