Elgar's Cello Concerto is a work of haunting musical beauty, and from the technical and interpretative points of view one of the finest, if not the finest, ever written for this much neglected instrument. It was composed at the end of the period that Elgar spent at Brink-wells, Fittleworth, in Sussex, and was actually the last of his big works, although he lived another fifteen years.
It was first performed by Felix Salmond with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir Edward Elgar , at Queen's Hall on October 27, 1919.
Tickets can be obtained from the British Broadcasting Corporation, Broadcasting House, Portland Place, W.1, Messrs. Chappell's Box Office, Queen's Hall, Langham Place, W.1, and the usual Agents. Prices : Is. 6d., 6s., 5s. (reserved), 3s. (unreserved). Promenade (payment at doors only) 2s.
