About
The young Spanish cellist Pablo Ferrández has already been marked out for the very top of his profession with Diapason magazine in France saying "Pablo Ferrández will be one of the best cellists in the future - No: he already is" After winning the prestigious Prix Edmond de Rothschild at the 2013 Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad in Switzerland, he went on to record his concerto debut CD: Dvorak's masterpiece for the instrument, plus Schumann's intimate concerto from his last years. The exquisite 'Song of the Birds' ends the disc, a much loved traditional Catalan song during the years of the Spanish civil war, made popular by the great Pablo Casals.

July 2014
ardent, tonally penetrating and skilfully structured. Ferrández is unfailingly elegant in the Schumann Cello Concerto...El cant dels ocells is the most revealing of Ferrández's individual voice, and just what he is capable of in terms of sound, line, and dramatisation. A gem on this promising debut disc.

He's a fine performer, with a warm tone and an impulsive, if refined, lyricism that makes him a natural interpreter for Schumann's concerto, with its melancholy elegance and flashes of mercurial wit.
