Alisa Weilerstein joined the SF Symphony last night to play Dvořák’s Cello Concerto. Her performance was inspiring and moving: she exhibited a very wide range of emotions as she played and in her playing. At the opening of the third movement, as her entrance approached, Weilerstein gathered herself together looking like she was ready to devour the piece. At other times, her playing was sensuous and passionate. During the first movement, it was as though she was making love, with her cello, to the music. She was playful, serious, intense, relaxed, as the music moved her.
Wonderful performance.
