Review: Malvern Theatres Shostakovitch cello concerto N2 2009
Cohen was a masterful soloist, absolutely commanding throughout, whether playing quietly or battling against the many outbursts of the large percussion section. In the finale the sense of anguish was palpable as the few recurring moments of orchestral warmth were extinguished, leaving the soloist with his defiant final sustained note. This concert was an emotional journey that will live in the memories of those who heard it for a long time.
