Bruce Hodges of The Juilliard Journal has a new review for Sean Hickey: Concertos and Juilliard alumni Dmitri Kouzov and Alexander Fiterstein.
“In this recording of Sean Hickey’s beautifully understated Cello Concerto (2008), Dmitry Kouzov (Artist Diploma ’05 and teaching assistant to Joel Krosnick from 2006-09) plays it with grace and thoughtfulness…Kouzov combines a warm, sinuous tone throughout with a sense of barely contained explosiveness…Alexander Fiterstein (B.M. ’00, Graduate Diploma ’02) is the impassioned soloist, with his alluring sound providing a fine complement to Hickey’s graceful orchestral palette. Fiterstein’s dusky tone is especially haunting in the pensive second movement…Fiterstein’s nimble fingerwork and the tune’s enchanting energy make a joyful conclusion.” —Bruce Hodges, The Juilliard Journal
