 ...The Cello Concerto - the program's highlight - sounds far more "Jewish," showing the influence of Jacobi's teacher, Ernest Bloch; with its flowing, soaring melodies and idiomatic, effective solo part it should be a welcome addition to the repertoire. Among the many excellent performers, cellist Alban Gerhardt from Berlin and baritone Patrick Mason from Ohio stand out; their uncanny stylistic and emotional identification with the music is further proof of its universality.
