Cello concerto ; Sea pictures by
Edward Elgar(
Recording
)
27 editions published between 1965 and 2012 in 3 languages and held by 583 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Esta es, verdaderamente, la grabación más fina del atractivo y elegíaco Cello Concerto de Elgar. Se tiene en alta estima, casi irracional, en el Reino Unido, en gran parte debido a el afecto universal para Jacqueline Du Pré, la esposa de Daniel Barenboim, cuya temprana muerte de esclerosis múltiple cortó lo que hubiera sido una carrera estelar. Este disco es igualmente significativo por la magnífica interpretación, por parte de Dame Janet Baker, de los "Sea pictures", el único ciclo orquestral de canciones del compositor
