The two works for cello and orchestra here, the Cello Concerto in C minor, Op. 43, of Mieczyslaw Weinberg and Tout un monde lointain for cello and orchestra by Henri Dutilleux, are hardly common on concert programs; perhaps the Dutilleux, taking the Debussy-Ravel language into serialist territory, is a bit better known. They are quite different, but they have a major trait in common: both were composed for the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. Knowing this makes the two works snap into focus, so to speak; each has the kind of noble melody line that Rostropovich brought to mind, and cellist Edgar Moreau achieves a reasonable facsimile of the style. The Weinberg concerto might be termed a real find, departing considerably from the composer's general Shostakovich inspiration. It is something of a sinfonia concertante, with the solo cello emerging in unexpected ways from other solo lines (sample the second and fourth movements). The Dutilleux work has a melancholy that the serialist method cannot squash, and Moreau gets lively support from the underrated WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln under conductor Andris Poga. This is a release that will fill spaces on many shelves or hard drives, and it continues to mark the ascent of Weinberg into the general repertory.
