Wonderful mysterious feeling from this piece. I haven't heard anything like it.

William Walton, perhaps Britains foremost C20 composer. This is just lovely, should be heard more often.

Heard this piece on the radio today. I was trying to guess who composed it. Britten Cello sym, Bridge Oration maybe Barber etc and then the announcer said Walton. Of course, it is. I hadn't heard it for about 30 years but just couldnt place it. What a wonderful, beautiful work. I now have to buy it again.

It's sunny reflective mood was out of fashion in the 60s and nowadays the Elgar seems to be the only English cello concerto there is room for on the international concert platform. Shame.

The person who plays the cello in this recording is, for in my musical untrained ears, excellent.

Lots of similarities in the opening of this concerto to the third movement of Prokofiev’s first violin concerto- a work that really impressed Walton

I have heard many comments of this being the hardest cello concerto but I can say with ease as a cellist that their are much harder. Some examples of these are the hydan cello concerto in D and the Nicolaus Kraft cello concerto in E minor

Bournemouth Symphony is my favorite currently, and they also produce the BEST sounding recordings as well.

Any ideas on why this isn't more well known? I suppose the reality is that there are thousands of brilliant music pieces but it intrigues me why some become famous and others not and it doesn't seem necessarily to do with the music itself but rather with music critics and politics etc.

David Watermeyer yes, and the limited tastes of the wealthy donors to symphony orchestras, and the boards of directors of those orchestras pressuring their music directors to program music that appeals to the limited tastes of those wealthy donors. which i suppose is the political factor that you mentioned. muchas gracias y saludos desde Tokio.

@@dugitomi I agree with you. That's the reason why we often listen to the same program over and over.
