Obra: Film music from Modern Times: Smile

In Elgar's Cello Concerto, Yo-Yo Ma displays his gentle expressiveness and magnificent “singing”  tone.

Smile, because there's light at the end of the tunnel, illuminated by Andrew Litton, Philippe Quint and the Singapore Symphony.

Leila Josefowicz ticked all the boxes in this stunning recital: highly imaginative curation; musicality in every note; and a winning ability to communicate to the Wigmore Hall audience.
