以「深情款款的表達和毫無保留的肢體呈現」（《紐約時報》評）享譽全球的薇勒絲坦，是当今唯一揚名國際的美國大提琴家，也是美國有史以來第一位受到國際矚目的女性大提琴家。
薇勒絲坦十三歲時即在克里夫蘭管弦樂團開始大提琴生涯，目前是波士頓新英格蘭音樂院的常駐音樂家。
薇勒絲坦四歲開始習琴，十三歲與克里夫蘭管弦樂團合作柴可夫斯基的「洛可可主題變奏曲」。父親唐納．魏勒斯坦是克里夫蘭弦樂四重奏的創始團員，是該團的第一小提琴手。母親Vivian Hornik也是位知名的鋼琴家。因為家學淵源，讓她很小就對現代曲目充滿興趣和熱情，和知名的當代作曲家Osvaldo Golijov等人有密切的合作，並為他首演了大提琴協奏曲「蔚藍」。先後獲得艾佛利費雪獎、伯恩斯坦獎和麥克阿瑟基金會的天才獎。雖然是廣受矚目的新秀，但薇勒斯坦卻不想念音樂院，她跟馬友友一樣，也選擇了念長春藤名校的人文科系，在哥倫比亞大學攻讀俄國歷史。薇勒絲坦之前的錄音都是和父母合作的三重奏錄音，只有一首現代大提琴協奏曲是由她擔綱獨奏。BBC音樂雜誌形容薇勒絲坦是「同世代最非凡的獨奏家之一」。
薇勒絲坦高度個人風格、浪漫色彩強烈的演奏其豐沛的情感、濃厚的抒情性及悠長樂句、加上出神入化的表情展現得淋漓盡致，極富魅力與感傷情懷。而貝隆拉維克指揮愛樂管弦樂團，亦生氣勃勃、色彩鮮明、風采翩翩，歷歷如繪的印象，直搗作品熱情如火的核心。在錄音的處理上，將麥克風置於中央以突顯大提琴，使獨奏琴聲不致被合奏淹沒，益顯其音質之飽滿和如歌唱般的抒情性。
World-renowned for her "heartfelt expression and unapologetic physicality" (The New York Times), Violet Stein is the only American cellist of international stature and the first female cellist ever to receive international attention in the United States.
She began her cello career with the Cleveland Orchestra at the age of thirteen and is currently a resident musician at the New England Conservatory in Boston.
She began her cello studies at the age of four, and at thirteen she performed Tchaikovsky's "Variations on a Rococo Theme" with the Cleveland Orchestra. Her father, Donna Weilerstein, is a member of the Cleveland Orchestra. Her father, Donna Weilerstein, was a founding member of the Cleveland Orchestra and first violinist of the quartet. Her mother, Vivian Hornik, is also a renowned pianist. Her family's pedigree led to an early interest in and passion for the modern repertoire, and she worked closely with renowned contemporary composers such as Osvaldo Golijov, for whom she premiered the cello concerto "Azure". He has received the Everly Fisher Prize, the Bernstein Prize, and the MacArthur Foundation's Genius Award. Despite being a highly acclaimed new talent, But Violetta don't want to go to the Music Academy. Like Yo-Yo Ma, she chose to study humanities at an Ivy League school and is pursuing Russian history at Columbia University. Her previous recordings were all trio recordings with her parents, except for one modern cello concerto in which she was the soloist, described by BBC Music Magazine as "one of the most extraordinary soloists of her generation".
Violetta's highly personal and romantic performance was characterized by a wealth of emotion, lyricism and long phrases, as well as by her sublime expression, which was both charismatic and poignant. The Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Belonlavec, is also vibrant, colorful, and graceful, with a vividly painted impression that strikes at the heart of the work's passion. In the recording, the microphone is placed in the center to highlight the cello, so that the soloist's voice will not be drowned out by the ensemble, which further demonstrates the fullness of the sound and the lyrical nature of the singing.
