5.0 out of 5 stars
Fine recording, both in performance and recording quality., February 9, 2003
This review is from: The Rose Album (Audio CD)
A fine recording of mostly standard cello pieces, done as a tribute to Mr. Haimovitz's teacher, the esteemed cellist, Leonard Rose, it does include modern 20th Century Works such as Robert Stern's Hazkarah or "In Memorium" commisioned by the Holocoast museum.
Haimovitz playing is moving and is finely accompanied by Itamar Golan. Recording quality is very good, if not quite demonstration class.
I first noticed Mr. Haimovitz as a locally based cellist, who had made a good recording of the Bach Cello Suites, which is fine though probably not at the same level as Rostropovich, Fournier, or Bylsma's recordings of the same landmark pieces. He formerly recorded for Deutsche Grammophon, but now seems to have established his own independent label. I look forward to hearing him live.
