About

Édouard Lalo's (1823 – 1892) masterpiece, the Concerto for Cello and Orchestra in D minor combines influences of Spanish folklore with his distinctive style reminiscent of German composers. 2023 is his 200th birthday. Though he was French he had Spanish ancestry and his famous work was frequently played by renowned cellist Pablo Casals to whom this album is dedicated. His brother Enrique Casals (1892 – 1986) was an outstanding violinist, conductor and composer in his own right. He composed the Cello Concerto in F Major in 1946 under the strong impression of the sea and the nature of Catalonia. The last movement is a sardana, a Catalan folk dance whose form Pablo Casals also used in many of his works, very he is clearly inspired by German late Romanticism.

April 2023

Enrique Casals’s cello concerto is a delightful find...Jan Vogler is an eloquent champion providing a performance that is both passionate and reflective...Well recorded in a superb acoustic, these fine performances of two richly Romantic works are well worth investigating.

September 2023

Everywhere and from everyone there’s emotional commitment and a strong soloist-orchestra dynamic.

May 2023

Enrique Casals, younger brother of Pablo, wrote his Cello Concerto (sub-titled ‘in romantic serious style’) in 1946, by which time it was stylistically out of date by several decades. Vogler captures its broad melodic sweep and easy charm, and negotiates its more technically demanding passages with aplomb.
