Review

Neue Zeitschrift für Musik

"Herr Popper from Löwenberg, Kammervirtuoso of the Prince Hohenzollern-Hechingen, played Volkmann's highly poetic and dramatically important concerto (Op. 33), and a concerto by Servais, for cello. We want !o mention especially the excellent virtuosity of his splendid style, and the concerto's spirited orchestration. In his performance of the difficult concertpiece, Herr Popper showed an extraordinary gift for his instrument. He not only played both concertos without music, but his rich, expressive, and beautifully produced tone in the characteristic violoncello range, his excellent, polished tcchnique in doublestop and trill passages in every position of this demanding instrument, won lively acclaim from the audience."
