About

Iconic figure on the French music scene and of record label Naïve, Anne Gastinel brings together an unparalleled cast (Nicholas Angelich, Gil Shaham, and Paavo Järvi) for an unprecedented performance of Beethoven's legendary Triple Concerto... full of light and brilliance.

Iconic French cellist, Anne Gastinel, has chosen for her next recording project one of the most exciting works in the history of music: Beethoven's Triple Concerto. The work brings together three soloists in a single work that sits somewhere between chamber music, concerto and symphony... bringing to life a particularly vibrant approach to musical exchange. The 'Triple' is a flagship, multi dimensional work, whose romantic impetus still resonates today.

From her long-term musical collaborator, Nicholas Angelich, to the great conductor, Paavo Järvi, via more recent 'love at first sight' musical encounters with Gil Shaham and Andreas Ottensamer, Anne Gastinel is surrounded by a wish-list of musical collaborators for this all-Beethoven programme. In addition, the more understated Trio Op.11 for clarinet, cello and piano, provides a touching complement to the monumental concerto.

In both works, each performer is energised and driven by the ultimate search for balance, breath and musical harmony, particularly Anne Gastinel, whose cello provides the pitch and impetus for each phase of the 'Triple'.

Of the soloists, it’s the cello that has the lion’s share, and Anne Gastinel makes the most of the part on this new recording. Her playing has a warmth and eloquence that made me think back to the famous account by Rostropovich, with Oistrakh, Richter, and the Berlin Philharmonic under Karajan…this disc can be warmly recommended.

June 2018

Jarvi’s recruited a true triumvirate for the Concerto, and it says much that their exuberant, congenial performance is even more than the sum of their considerable parts; Gastinel, though, is the star of the show for me, particularly in the gorgeously lyrical opening of the slow movement. The gypsy finale goes with real swing: there’s an almost folkish quality to the playing in places, and the virtuoso exchanges between the three soloists feel like heat-of-the-moment improvisation.
