Terry Robbins of The WholeNote has high praise for cellist Michael Samis and his new Delos release, Reinecke: Cello Concerto:
“The Reinecke concerto was written in 1864, and is a lovely, immediately accessible work clearly influenced by Reinecke’s teacher, Felix Mendelssohn. Samis has the necessary big, warm tone, and there is some lovely orchestral support from the Gateway Chamber Orchestra under Gregory Wolynec. Samis considers the work to be ‘a lost gem that richly deserves a place in the repertoire,’ and it’s hard not to agree with him. … Samis’ playing throughout is of the highest order, and there is depth, resonance and excellent balance in the recorded sound.” —Terry Robbins, The WholeNote
