She records regularly for Hyperion, including the two Cello Concertos by Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns as well as Bloch\u2019s Schelomo and Bruch\u2019s Kol Nidrei with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, as well as 3 discs for EMI. Her recent discs include recital works by Rebecca Clarke, Frank Bridge and Vaughan Williams with Christian Ihle Hadland, Beethoven\u2019s Triple Concerto with Insula Orchestra and Laurence Equilbey and the Hadyn Cello Concertos with Recreation Orchestra Graz and Michael Hofstetter, which was described by The Strad as \u201csubtle and elegant performances that also thrill\u201d. In 2017 her album featuring works by Bloch, Dallapiccola and Ligeti was awarded a Diapason d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n
She has regularly been invited to work with major orchestras worldwide, including Philharmonia, Hall\u00e9, Bournemouth Symphony, City of Birmingham Symphony, Montreal Symphony, Orchestre National de Lyon, New Zealand Symphony, Opole Philharmonic, St Petersburg Symphony, and Orquesta Filarm\u00f3nica de Buenos Aires and has performed with conductors including Sir Mark Elder, Sir Roger Norrington, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Leonard Slatkin, Heinrich Schiff and Jos\u00e9 Serebrier.<\/p>\n
Major engagements in recent seasons have included recital tours of Australia, North and South America and Ireland, at the London in Tel Aviv festival and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg as well a regular collaboration with Ruby Hughes and Julius Drake, with whom she recently performed at the Chamber Music at Lundsgaard Festival. Recent concert highlights have included Elgar with the Philharmonia, Collegium Musicum Basel and Brandenburgische Staatsorchester Frankfurt, Saint-Saens with Royal Northern Sinfonia, and Bloch\u2019s Schelomo with Orkiestra Symfoniczna NFM and Wroclaw Philharmonic.<\/p>\n
In recital she appears frequently with artists including Sergio Tiempo, Christian Ihle Hadland, H\u00e5vard Gimse, Anthony Marwood, Leif Ove Andsnes, Cedric Pescia and Marianna Shirinyan. She has also worked with Martha Argerich, Ian Bostridge, Simon Keenlyside, Imogen Cooper, Lars Vogt, Isabelle Faust, and Yeol Eum Son. Her recent Wigmore Hall recital with C\u00e9dric Pescia was enthusiastically received by The Strad, who wrote \u201cClein and Pescia exquisitely articulated these clever contrapuntal conversations and snatched lyrical phrases, each transition simultaneously appearing seamless while resetting the emotional temperature\u201d.<\/p>\n
Being a strong advocate for new works, she gave the world premieres of Sir John Tavener\u2019s Flood of Beauty with the Britten Sinfonia and Charlotte Bray\u2019s The Certainty of Tides with Aurora Orchestra and has previously commissioned Brian Elias and Thomas Larcher. She has also been involved in cross-disciplinary projects with the dancer Carlos Acosta, writer Jeanette Winterson and director Deborah Warner amongst others.<\/p>\n
She is the Artistic Director of the Purbeck International Chamber Music Festival, Dorset, and has curated series for BBC Radio 3 at LSO St Luke\u2019s and as part of King\u2019s Place\u2019s Cello Unwrapped. She was also Artist in Residence and Director of Musical Performance at Oxford University from 2015 \u2013 2019 and since 2018 has been Professor of Cello at the Rostock Academy of Music in Germany. She is also Professor of Cello at the Royal College of Music as well as was on the panel for the 2022 edition of the Queen Elisabeth Competition.<\/p>\n
Born in the United Kingdom, Natalie came to widespread attention when she won both the BBC Young Musician of the Year and the Eurovision Competition for Young Musicians in Warsaw. She studied at Royal College of Music in London and with Heinrich Schiff in Vienna. In 2021, Natalie was awarded an OBE for her services to music.<\/p>\n
