“A master of his instrument” (New York Times) “wonderfully elegant performances ofwonderfully elegant music.” (Stereo Review) “A performance like Zlotkin’s leaves me with a feeling of satisfaction nothing else can equal -not even the eloquence of Casals.” (Fanfare) “Absolutely dynamic from beginning to end. A cellist of extreme sensitivity and conviction…a new dimension.” (St. Louis Globe-Democrat)
“This is a wonderfully elegant performance of wonderfully elegant music. In Frederick Zlotkin’s hands the cello takes on an airiness that is perfect for the dance movements. In the rhapsodic preludes, the harmonies are savored and the figurations are carefully molded. His ornamentation is particularly rich and bold, especially in the paired optional dances where each repetition of a section accumulates glittering variations. If music for solo cello has intimidated you, try these and enjoy.” –Stereo Review
