Oubliette by Raphael Weinroth-Browne
"Eclectic virtuoso cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne depicts cathartic pathos and strained pain in this minimalist contemporary classical work for 9 cellos, composed and performed himself. Bringing out the full expressive and tonal capacity of his instrument, Raphael makes his cello sing throughout the piece, whether it is providing harmonic chordal support or interweaving melodic phrases, to make densely rich cascades of heartfelt anguishing release. Abstract sustained chords open the piece as we first approach the ceiling opening into Raphael’s hidden oubliette, but we enter soon enough inside to be enveloped by powerful cello voicings to form a chordal motif of romantic suffering and secret yearning."
