What's Interesting

Olly Wilson was a pioneering faculty member at Oberlin’s Conservatory of Music. His Shango Memory evokes otherworldly spaces and sets the stage for Berlioz's dreamlike symphony.
Johannes Moser, “one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists” (Gramophone), jumps into Saint-Saëns’s dark and delicate Concerto.
Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique is a real treat—an immense orchestral tantrum with its Witches’ Sabbath and love left at the scaffold.

What Critics Are Saying

“Leading up to the concert, I’d been listening to Moser’s own recording of the work — but seeing him perform it live was a whole other experience. His technique was superb [...] but more than that, Moser used his body in a way that amplified the work’s conflict.”

—San Francisco Classical Voice
