Elgar
Cello Concerto in E minor, op. 85 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elgar started work on the Cello Concerto just as the First World War
came to an end and it represents the most moving lament both for the
millions of lives lost in the war and for the Edwardian way of life
which had passed into history so comprehensively.

The Cello Concerto has become indelibly linked with Jacqueline du Pre,
who performed it first with the Halle Orchestra under Sir John
Barbirolli, before recording it with the London Symphony, again under
Barbirolli in August 1965. There ARE other recordings, but this
remains an essential interpretation.
