Description
These two masterpieces are shadowed by the events of the First World War. Elgars Cello Concerto, an intensely poignant, reflective and individual musical statement, has enjoyed unflagging popularity among musicians and listeners for over 100 years. By contrast, Frank Bridges Oration (Concerto elegiaco) remained unperformed for decades after its early hearings. Yet it shares spiritual affinities with Elgars work and serves as a funeral address of huge solemnity and narrative power in its outcry against the futility of war.
