Concerto in E Minor for Violoncello and Orchestra, op. 85

There is a wistful and melancholic, yet warm and passionate quality about the Elgar Cello Concerto which perhaps initially endeared it almost exclusively to English hearts. Slowly, however (and doubtless with the help of the deservedly famous recording by Jacqueline du Pré), it is conquering the world, and is becoming recognised as one of the very few greatest cello concertos of all time. The complete autograph solo part is reproduced in full color facsimile in the Critical Commentary, which should prove an irresistible source of inspiration for cellists the world over. - Jonathan Del Mar.
