Album Notes & Community Reviews
This definitive electrical recording features Beatrice Harrison on cello, with the composer himself conducting the London Symphony Orchestra. Capturing the sweeping autumnal sorrow and deep introspective lyricism of the work, it helped rescue the concerto from its initial poor reception. The deeply authentic interpretation remains an emotional touchstone for all subsequent performances.
