Notes and Editorial Reviews

“His playing - warm and supple of tone - has the lyrical allure, lithe technique and discreet dramatic flair to give this familiar music a fresh impetus.” -- The Telegraph on Brantelid’s debut CD

Following critical acclaim for Andreas Brantelid’s Debut album on EMI Classics in 2008, the up-and-coming Danish cellist has recorded an all-Chopin chamber music programme for release in early 2010, the 200th anniversary of the composer’s birth. The recording, features the Cello Sonata Op. 65, Grand Duo on themes from Meyerbeer’s Robert le Diable and Piano Trio Op. 8 with pianist Marianna Shininyan and violinist Vilde Frang.

Andreas Brantelid (b. 1987), one of Scandinavia’s leading cellists, is quickly establishing an international reputation. Winner of a 2008 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and a current member of the BBC’s New Generation Artist scheme, Brantelid was nominated for the European Concert Hall Organization’s "Rising Star" scheme in 2008-2009 and has performed in, among others, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Musikverein Vienna, Palais des Beaux Arts Brussels and Philharmonie Cologne.

Pianist Marianna Shirinyan began studying piano in her native Armenia before moving to Hamburg to work with Mathias Weber. She is currently at the Musikhochschule Lübeck, having won several competitions along the way in Germany, Spain, Italy and Denmark. Shirinyan is establishing herself on the international stage as a soloist and chamber musician, working with such artists as Christian Altenburger, Shmuel Ashkenasi, Ana Chumachenko, Ivry Gitlis and Midori and closely involved with the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival as a coach at its Orchestral Academy. Marianna Shirinyan has been a member of the Esbjerg Ensemble in Denmark since 2003.

Vilde Frang, the young Norwegian violinist and protégée of Anne Sophie Mutter, made her debut at the age of 10 and was subsequently engaged by Mariss Jansons to perform with the Oslo Philharmonic. She has since performed extensively in Europe and has appeared at international festivals in Verbier, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Lucerne. Frang has performed with Martha Argerich, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon, Gidon Kremer, Yuri Bashmet and Maxim Vengerov and has toured Europe and the United States with Anne-Sophie Mutter and Camerata Salzburg. The winner of a 2007 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and of the 2009 Norwegian Soloist award, Frang recently signed with EMI Classics.

AllMusic Review by James Leonard
It is grand to hear novice players so successfully take on three of Chopin's chamber pieces, the Cello Sonata, Piano Trio, and Grand Duo for cello and piano. There have certainly been great recordings of these works in the past -- one thinks immediately of those by Mstislav Rostropovich and Jacqueline du Pré -- but the energy, enthusiasm, and sincerity that cellist Andreas Brantelid, pianist Marianna Shirinyan, and violinist Vilde Frang bring to this music more than justifies preserving their performances. Brantelid has a big but nuanced tone, an elegant but impressive technique, and an obvious affinity for the music, and he is well-matched by Shirinyan's polished technique and empathic accompaniments and Frang's easy virtuosity and lyrical interpretation. The ensemble is poised but comfortable and the interpretations are cogent and compelling. Captured in close but smooth digital sound, these performances deserve to be heard by anyone who loves this music, or great chamber music playing.

Vom Rising Star zum reifen Künstler
»Er entlockt seinem Cello über alle Register eine beeindruckende Klangfülle, dank des stets kultiviert eingesetzten Vibratos einen noblen Ton. Gerade die langsamen Mittelteile der Konzerte klingen fast transzendental ...«: Lobende Worte des Rezensenten der ZEIT, der sich hier von der Debüt-CD des jungen dänischen Cellisten Andreas Brantelid begeistert zeigt. 2008 erschien die Aufnahme mit Konzerten von Schumann, Saint-Saëns und Tschaikowsky, und nach diesem erfolgreichen Einstand mit wahren Schlachtrössern des Cello-Repertoires präsentiert der Künstler nun eine Entdeckung: Frédéric Chopins Kammermusik für Violoncello und Klavier.
