May’s Issue of BBC Music Magazine is Out!
Featuring Album of the Year Winner, Alisa Weilerstein!
We are so excited to see Alisa Weilerstein on the cover of BBC Music Magazine! The Caramoor Artist-in-Residence was awarded Recording of the Year for her recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto with Daniel Barenboim. Weilerstein talks with BBC Music Magazine about what went into creating the award winning recording. To put her mark on this renowned concerto, Weilerstein had to focus on creating her own interpretation. This meant paying attention to the music at it’s most basic without previous recordings or historical references at the forefront. Her artistic efforts certainly paid off as the results are award winning!

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.”
