  • Ernest Bloch's Schelomo with Chicago Smphony Orchestra

    Chicago
    Oct 2023
    • Schelomo may not be a timeless masterpiece but Wang’s intelligent, deeply expressive performance Thursday night nearly convinced one that it is. In his belated CSO debut, the cellist brought intense expression and an apt febrile quality to Solomon’s dark ruminations, with the slight trace of rawness feeling wholly idiomatic. Wang showed easy fluency in the fast passagework and his impassioned yet nuanced phrasing and hairpin dynamics were put entirely at the service of the score. Wang rendered the final solo meditation in a hushed inward quality that brought a rich eloquence to Bloch’s music.
