Elschenbroich's debut on ONYX of sonatas by Rachmaninov and Shostakovich received critical acclaim around the world and made the Top 10 UK Chart for several weeks. Here he can be heard in Kabalevsky's impressive 2nd Cello Concerto, and Prokofiev's Cello Sonata with shorter works by both composers for cello and piano. Release November 2014
"This Onyx release of Prokofiev and Kabalevsky works features the playing of German cellist Leonard Elschenbroich both in the recording studio with piano accompaniment and in live concert with Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra under Andrew Litton. Beautifully played by Elschenbroich and splendidly recorded this Onyx release is worth obtaining for his magnetic performance of Kabalevsky's Second Cello Concerto. It's a real find." (MusicWeb March 2015)
"Never has this often underestimated work [the Prokofiev Sonata] seemed more rich in incident and so eloquently expressive." (Five Stars BBC Music)
"The concerto is not exactly a stranger to the catalogue, but Elschenbroich's performance...makes a highly distinguished addition to an emotionally multifaceted work...Elschenbroich, with Andrew Litton and the Netherlands Philharmonic, captures the fluctuating moods perceptively and with striking immediacy and depth of feeling." (Daily Telegraph)
