Christine Walevska has been centre stage in the cello world ever since her first international concert appearances at the age of eighteen. Those early triumphs inspired the sort of accolades normally reserved for star performers of mature years. Typical of the tributes was the comment by the Los Angeles music critic Patterson Greene: “She parallels on the cello the singular persuasiveness of Fritz Kreisler on the violin.”

Over four decades of concertizing across the globe she has played with orchestras throughout Germany, the United States, France, in every corner of Spain, Poland, Mexico, Central and South America (where she has brought music to every big city or small, wherever there is a concert hall with an orchestra or piano to accompany her), in Holland with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Hague, in the Concertgebouw, the Stockholm Philharmonic, the Israel Philharmonic, Vienna, Italy, Prague, Cuba, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Dresdner Philharmonic, concerts in Japan, Honk Kong, China and Taiwan.

“Another collection of archive CDs celebrates the considerable artistry and beautiful tone of the American cellist Christine Walevska... In her prime Walevska was one of those players who virtually became her instrument.” – Gramophone

“The variety of repertoire and accompanying orchestras and accompanists shows that she managed to sustain a strong career over the years and the performances reflect a broadly French-Russian inheritance, subtly deployed. This is a fine box that brings Walevska to renewed notice.” – MusicWeb International
