The “Cello Prince” from France
HIGHLIGHT
Elgar’s compositions combined perfectly his personal and emotional life, fusing a unique style that opened a new path in music. His Cello Concerto is among his final large-scale works, and the composer himself admitted that it encompasses human attitudes to life, summarizing all that happened to his own. His Symphony No.1, an obvious product of the late romantic period, is packed with his unique turns of phrase and has become an icon in British symphonic repertoire.
