Cello Concerto in E minor, Op 85

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

Extravagant, almost angry, Elgar's last major work - written in 1919 - has become one of the most important and instantly recognisable concertos for any instrument. Wild and uncompromising, it is perhaps his farewell to a disappointing world. Composer: Edward Elgar Performers: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Performer: Narek Hakhnazaryan (Cello) Conductor: John Storgårds Recording date: 15 July 2015 Date of broadcast: 15 July 2015
