Who doesn’t love the Elgar Cello Concerto. Always up there in the Top 10 works ever written it was originally made famous by Jacqueline du Pre. In this new release from Chandos the estimable Paul Watkins take the solo part with Sir Andrew Davis conducting the BBC Philharmonic. With a completely UK line up you can be assured that this is a stunning recording. They don’t over romanticise the works and at times seem quite restrained in their emotional input. However it works beautifully to show off their musicality and style. Also including the Introduction and Allegro, Elegy and the wonderful five Military Marches ‘Pomp and Circumstance’.
