This album is a journey on the shoulders of musical giants, both in the compositions and in the interpretations. Accompanied by the legendary conductor and pianist Christoph Eschenbach, Bohorquez delivers an extraordinary performance that is a treat for the ears and soul. With his exceptional skill and technique, he explores the depths of the cello’s sound, bringing out the unique beauty and emotion of each piece. The album features Schumann’s Adagio & Allegro op. 70, a powerful and expressive work that showcases Bohorquez’s impeccable bowing and phrasing. The 2 Pieces for Cello and Piano by A. v. Webern are a masterclass in modernist composition, with Bohorquez and Eschenbach expertly navigating the intricate and complex melodies. Schubert’s Sonata (Arpeggione) is a true gem of the cello repertoire and finally, O. Messiaen’s Louange a l’Eternite de Jesus is a beautiful and moving work that showcases the cello’s ability to convey deep spiritual emotions.
