 sublime performance August 20, 2007

as i often do when shopping for music,i purchase based on album/cd cover.
i'm extremely lucky that way,and this time i hit the lottery!big time!from the opening notes i knew my money was well spent.alisas' skill on cello is extraordinary.goshamighty!she is backed on piano by none other than "dear ol' mom"...whose keyboard playing is superb.this debut album has a certain intimacy that is probably due the that mother-daughter re-
lationship. musically,together they are heaven sent.it is one of my very favorite cds.when i listen to it i am transported to a better place in time.her interpretation of "variations on one string on a theme by Rossini
is startlingly lovely.it sets the tone for the rest of the album and does not let up in its brilliance.i was surprised to find that she is only 25 years old.she must have been a teen when she performed this seminal work.
dare i say it, yes...she is sheer genius,with a whole lot of soul.i love her dearly.what a talent!and moms ain't half bad either.they should really play and record more...much,much more.thank you ms. and mrs. weilerstein for giving me so much listening pleasure.god bless you.
Hear Her Live December 19, 2006

You must witness Alisa Weilerstein live. I fell in love with her playing at the Spoleto festival where she played the basso continuo part of a Bach Brandenberg Concerto as if it was the Dvorak Cello Concerto. She has a passion for music that i have not heard or seen. And in her early 20s. Oh my gosh what a performer she will eventually be!
 Weilerstein Debut January 20, 2006

I've been playing the cello for almost 40 years and I agree about the complaints about the vibrato and phrasing: overdone! I also agree with the question about "aristocratic" playing: why all of the exaggeration? Instrument playing should ideally be like that of a vocalist, where one is not limited by one's technical abilities. I doubt that Ms. Weilerstein would sing these phrasese the same way she plays them. There is still time for her to develop, however. If you want to hear more refined playing, listen to Gendron, Rose, Fournier or Rostropovich.

I am a cellist of 15 years on the breakthrough of becoming a renowed cellist. This cellist tone is so powerfull and clear.she tells a story this is so clear to understand because the music speaks. alisa should watch the slurs from the f to b and be more gracefull. The apres un reve was ok i guess. she really should of tooken more time. like floating on a dream cloud. when i play this piece i take the music from the begining as a fuzzy dream and play the pitch so the music tells a story and becomes more clear every measure. The elgar is somenthing she might not want to touch because no one plays it better than du pre.

I have been fond of the cello for years. I have enjoyed Casals even though he was somewhate austere. I love Rostropovich's tone and color but have felt that no one has ever played with the passion of Du Pre until I heard Weilerstein on, I believe, NPR when they played an unreleased tape of the Elgar Concerto by Weilerstein. I missed the intro and would have bet the farm that I was listening to Du Pre until the announcement at the end. I immediately ordered this disc and it has me wondering about re-incarnation. Is Du Pre back? This disc is a wonderful sample of the immense talents of this new young artist. I can't wait for Alisa to record the my favorite Elgar for EMI.
