INGRAM CLASSICS
Alisa Weilerstein is one of the foremost cellists of our time. Known for her consummate artistry, emotional investment, and rare interpretive depth, she was recognized with a MacArthur “genius grant” Fellowship in 2011 for her exceptional creativity, originality and dedication. Today, her career is truly global in scope. While maintaining a deep engagement with the standards of the repertoire, she is also dedicated to expanding cello literature and bringing new works to life through a wealth of solo and concerto commissions. As featured in a Gramophone cover story, in 2022 she released the complete Beethoven Sonatas for Cello and Piano with frequent collaborator Inon Barnatan.
“Weilerstein is a throwback to an earlier age of classical performers: not content merely to serve as a vessel for the composer’s wishes, she inhabits a piece fully and turns it to her own ends,” marvels the New York Times. “Weilerstein’s cello is her id. She doesn’t give the impression that making music involves will at all. She and the cello seem simply to be one and the same,” agrees the Los Angeles Times. As the UK’s Telegraph puts it, “Weilerstein is truly a phenomenon.”
“One of the most admired pianists of his generation” (New York Times), Inon Barnatan has received universal acclaim for his “uncommon sensitivity” (The New Yorker), “impeccable musicality and phrasing” (Le Figaro), and his stature as “a true poet of the keyboard: refined, searching, unfailingly communicative” (The Evening Standard). A multifaceted musician, Barnatan is equally celebrated as soloist, curator and collaborator. Barnatan appears regularly with the world’s foremost orchestras and conductors and frequently collaborates with world-class partners, including cellist Alisa Weilerstein.
