Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85

by Edward Elgar

CelloPost-RomanticConcerto~30 minprofessional

Elgar's last major work, composed in 1919 in the shadow of World War I. Its autumnal, elegiac character makes it one of the most emotionally profound concertos in the repertoire. Forever associated with Jacqueline du Pré's legendary 1965 recording.
