Clevelandclassical.com | Dvořák Cello Concerto No. 1 | Akron Symphony | January 2015
“Jonah Ellsworth looked both relaxed and eager as he took the stage for what has become one of the most important solo cello works in the repertoire. His winning tone and excellent intonation were fine vehicles for Dvorak’s lyrical solo lines, and he projected well over the orchestra even when textures grew thicker and the emotional temperature rose. He’s definitely a player to watch.”
