Romy, there is a project to reissue all of Svetlanov's recordings. Eventually, I hope, this project will make available the recording of the cello concerto by Natalia Gutman, which IMO is better than any of the recordings by Rostropovich.I do not kno...

This morning, while driving to work, the Classical station was playing the first movement of Gerald Finzi's Cello Concerto (14 July 1901 - 27 September 1956):

Today WGBH broadcasted Antonio Pappano leading Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 2 with a Korean cellist Han-Na Chang. I never head this girl and I had no idea what to expect. Anyhow, it was superb performance. Han-Na ...

London LL-1106; mono LP; 1954I feel so expansive listening to this, and I think a lot of it is because Fournier's playing is so perfect, in a very "modern", 20th century way. He does not put finger or bow awry, and the double-string work has to be h...

Today on WFMT's New Releases program, Lisa Flynn played a live recording of Elliott Carter's Cello Concerto. Composed in 2001, this performance I believe is from the fall of 2012. Daniel Barenboim conducts the Berlin Staatskapelle Orchestra, and th...

I suppose it is appropriate for my first post on this board to be about cello music. Since my wife is a cellist, I have had the opportunity to collect a great deal of cello music recordings -- although unlike Clark, my collection does not include 78s...

Since the WHRB broadcasted Victor Herbert First Cello Concerto by Lynn Harrell I got hooked on Herbert. I generally am not big fun of British composers but I do love a lot what Herbert did. It is in a way “light” and not intellectually demanding. Com...

Yep, the Du Pre might be a subject of endless talks. As much as Mussorgsky I consider was the most natural raw talent among all composers as much Du Pre was probably the most natural rawest talents among the musicals of 20 century. There are a few mi...

I have not seen it myself, but I have been told that the French box set does include the complete symphonies (27 in all) plus orchestral poems, sinfoniettas, etc. I think that it does NOT include the violin concerto or the cello concerto. This box se...

Last Saturday BSO under Finnish conductor Susanna Mälkki played a new work - Unsuk Chin’s cello concerto, Alban Gerhardt played the lead. I do not know, folks. If this is the direction where “music went” then let call it a successful concerto. Howev...

Thanks Romy,Yes, I will explore Khachaturian more...I like him even though he keeps company with the lesser respected of composers. It is kind of a shame that the secondary composers often get pushed aside by the major, important work...
