Poltera:Stott:Bergen Po - Barber: Cello Concerto

Cellist Christian Polt�ra turns to the music of Samuel Barber. He is joined by the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra under Andrew Litton and pianist Kathryn Stott.Polt�ra opens his programme with the Cello Concerto - one of only three concertos by Barber - which balances the natural lyric expressiveness of his earlier music with a more urgent, rhythmic and intense style.Polt�ra and regular chamber-music partner Stott then perform the Sonata for Cello and Piano, composed while Barber was still a student.The disc closes with the enormously popular Adagio for strings.
