PENTATONE proudly presents Richard Blackford’s powerful new Cello Concerto, commissioned by Czech Philharmonic for the acclaimed virtuoso cellist Alisa Weilerstein. Orchestra and soloist perform this piece under the baton of Tomáš Netopil. Structured in four vivid movements, the concerto transforms the raw forces of nature—Earth, Air, Water, and Fire—into a deeply personal and emotionally charged musical journey. From the violent winds of California wildfires to the quiet resilience of a town reborn from ashes, the work reflects on climate catastrophe and human perseverance with striking immediacy. Weilerstein’s commanding performance and the Czech Philharmonic’s evocative textures bring this timely and transformative work to life in a recording as urgent as it is unforgettable.
