March 2019
She makes a remarkable case for her re-viewing of the Cello Concerto, which emerges as nervous, mercurial, more brilliantly lateral in its thinking than in any other recording I can remember. Even the orchestration seems more incisive, more in keeping with the cello’s thought-processes under Giovanni Antonini’s sympathetic direction, and with the less plush, more wiry and transparent sound of the period instruments…Her fascinatingly fresh approach needs to be experienced. Your conception of Schumann may never be quite the same again.

The microphones focus intently on Gabetta’s Guadagnini in the Concerto, intimately capturing the instrument’s rich, throaty tone…Chamayou is beautifully responsive in the chamber works.
