CD Reviews

Achingly beautiful music for cello

Weatherbird | Hawaii | 05/20/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an album of short pieces for cello and chamber orchestra. Some of the works are arrangements of pieces not originally written for cello. Most of the works are by famous classical composers such as JS Bach and Tchaikovsky, but there is also an arrangement of Henry Mancini's 'Moon River'. All of the music is beautiful and skillfully performed and the sound quality is excellent. The mood of the recording is generally serious, sometimes even somber, but even the darker pieces are achingly beautiful."

Music from the heart

Ying Lu | Detroit, MI United States | 07/07/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've enjoyed many technically brilliant, artistically superior cellist performance over the years, both live and in recording. Mr Vogler's playing is one of the most lyrical in terms of musical expression. You can watch a segment of making of this CD on youtube. Simply fantastic."
