Alisa Weilerstein, cello; & Inon Barnatan, piano: Brahms/Shostakovich

Alisa Weilerstein, cello & Inon Barnatan, piano

“Barnatan delivers a breathtaking charisma that comes from gorgeously turned-out technique, a masterly sense of color, and an expressiveness that can question, weep, or shout joy from the rooftops.”
– Philadelphia Inquirer 

“Weilerstein’s cello is her id. She doesn’t give the impression that making music involves will at all. She and the cello seem simply to be one and the same.”
– Los Angeles Times
