Description:
In the aftermath of World War I, Edward Elgar (1857-1934) wrote some of his most personal and introspective music. The last of his major completed works, the Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85, began as a melodic idea that came to the composer as he was recovering from a surgery to remove an infected tooth. Despite the woeful premiere, the concerto later achieved fame in light of a now-iconic recording made by Jacqueline du Pré. This LudwigMasters edition is a transcription for cello and piano.
