[…] of several dozen listeners. No wonder. She is The Real Deal. She possesses beautiful tone, big volume, pleasant and modest vibrato, excellent diction and a thoroughly confident stage presence: Here is Brian Klickman and pianist Claire Mallory in the poignantly moving Cavatina movement from the Cello Sonata by Francis Poulenc . Here is that wonderfully tuneful last movement from Cesar Franck ‘s Violin Sonata transcribed for cello and played by Cordula Aeschbacher with pianist Claire Mallory: Then Aleks Tengesdal played the impressively turbulent first movement of the Cello Concerto No. 1 by Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara, with piano accompaniment. Julian Mueller closed out the first half with the gorgeous Andante Cantabile by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky , who, it seems, was never at a loss for a beautiful, bittersweet melody.
