5.0 out of 5 stars This is an outstanding issue!, Jan 6 2003
By Robert L. Berkowitz (Natick, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wendy Warner's recording of the Barber Cello Concerto is a more satisfying account than the recordings by Yo-Yo Ma, Steven Isserlis or Raphael Wallfisch. Each of these other recordings commend themselves for various reasons, but Ms. Warner's account brings together a searching musicality, technical command, poignant lyricism, and a beautiful stereo acoustic.

Marin Alsop is a skilled Barber interpreter. Her support for Ms. Warner is admirable. The Medea Ballet Suite is an interesting work, although I prefer hearing the abridged "Dance of Vengeance" which is made up of 3 of the movements from this larger work.

The Adagio for Strings is also beautifully done.

In summary, this disc would be worthy of collection even if it were full price. Obtaining it at a bargain price makes it indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Authoritative recording of the Barber Concerto, Nov 16 2001
By E. Barnhill (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Wendy Warner has long been a champion of this thorny concerto and gave its premiere in Barber's hometown of Philadelphia. She has an extraordinary grasp of its deeply American lyricism. At the Naxos price this is a fabulous find.
