 Just Plain Unbelievable February 4, 2001

I don't know what to say about this truly exhilirating CD featuring the vibrant and sassy Alisa Weilerstein. Obviously though, I cannot forget about her mother Vivian, who was also incredible. I did not think it to be possible to play pieces with such energy and feeling. It seems that nothing can stop her. I nearly cried during the Quiet Woods, sily one of the best pieces on the CD. It was truly fantastic, and I will be first in line for her next record.

SUCH PRESENCE! This is cello playing without apologies. She is always secure in what she is saying whether that is what you wanted to hear or not. She is the real thing. May she go onto continue to create controvery through her playing!

I have been fond of the cello for years. I have enjoyed Casals even though he was somewhate austere. I love Rostropovich's tone and color but have felt that no one has ever played with the passion of Du Pre until I heard Weilerstein on, I believe, NPR when they played an unreleased tape of the Elgar Concerto by Weilerstein. I missed the intro and would have bet the farm that I was listening to Du Pre until the announcement at the end. I immediately ordered this disc and it has me wondering about re-incarnation. Is Du Pre back? This disc is a wonderful sample of the immense talents of this new young artist. I can't wait for Alisa to record the my favorite Elgar for EMI.
phenom cellista makes big! August 7, 2000

my goodness...who would have thought an 18 year old cellist's debut recital CD could make such a stir. Her magical tone, technical prowress, and incredible energy give these pieces an all new life. They are fresh, appropriately energetic and beautiful, and teeming with the maturity of a late-in-life performer. This girl could be called the hier to throne of musicality that was Jackie DuPre... but no, it goes much beyond that...this is the most natural, most beautiful, most real cellist and musician I have ever heard. Oozing with sentiment, beauty, and power this is a recording one must own!!
Alisa Weilerstein lives up to all the hype... September 5, 2000

It's funny... a young lady of such maturity and emotional depth who actually plays like a young DuPre. She truly gives new meaning to the word "wunderkind". I am quite happy to reccommend this CD to anyone who loves the beauty of the sound of the violoncello. I am pleased to say that also, in person, she is as sweet and charming as one would think. Let's just pray that her future successes will not dampen her passion for music and love for art.
