John Pitman Reviews: Joshua Roman’s ‘Immunity’ Cellist Joshua Roman began to experience something beyond a case of Covid, early in the pandemic. It soon became apparent that the virus had advanced to become long Covid, which consists of symptoms that vary widely from one person to the next. While coming to terms with this life-changing condition, Joshua had to learn a new way of approaching the playing of the cello, performing publicly, and collaborating with musicians.

John Pitman Reviews: John-Henry Crawford All Classical Radio’s Director of Music and Programming John Pitman recently spoke with John-Henry Crawford. Since the Louisiana-based cellist’s 2021 debut, Dialogo, Crawford has always had “dialogues” with the composers whose music he performs, and his album featuring Dvořák’s Cello Concerto and Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme, is no exception.

John Pitman Reviews: Augustin Hadelich’s ‘American Road Trip’ Violinist Augustin Hadelich was born in Italy to German parents, and then moved to the U.S. two decades ago to study at Juilliard, where he has lived ever since. Hadelich and his music embody the idea of the “American melting pot,” as does his new album, American Road Trip. On the album, he reflects as much on his own travels and experiences with American culture as he does on the composers whose music he features.
