Gregor Piatigorsky with The Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy Bruch - Kol Nidrei Adagio For Cello And Orchestra Op 47

Review by Tom Beidler

The album Kol Nidrei Adagio For Cello And Orchestra Op 47 by Gregor Piatigorsky with The Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy Bruch is a masterpiece that showcases the exceptional talent of both the cellist and the orchestra. The album features the famous Kol Nidrei, a Jewish prayer that is traditionally recited on the eve of Yom Kippur. Piatigorsky's performance on the cello is awe-inspiring, as he effortlessly brings out the emotion and depth of the prayer through his playing.

The Philadelphia Orchestra, under the direction of Eugene Ormandy Bruch, provides a perfect accompaniment to Piatigorsky's cello. The orchestra's rich and warm sound complements the cello perfectly, creating a beautiful and harmonious blend of instruments. The album also features other pieces such as Bloch's Schelomo and Saint-Saëns' Cello Concerto No. 1, both of which are performed with the same level of skill and passion.

Summary by Tom Beidler

Kol Nidrei Adagio For Cello And Orchestra Op 47 is a must-have album for any classical music lover. Piatigorsky's virtuosity on the cello and the Philadelphia Orchestra's impeccable performance make for a truly unforgettable listening experience.
