Elgar Cello Concerto
The second of six programmes being repeated as a tribute to the great musician.
Critic David Cairns observed that Tortelier's recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto with Boult proved that understanding Elgar's music is not the exclusive prerogative of the English. Here, the cellist brings Gallic wisdom to bear on this well-loved concerto as he coaches Elizabeth Ramsay and Emma Ferrand , with pianist Geoffrey Pratley.
