Elgar/bridge Cello Concer - Gabriel Schwabe - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Elgar/Bridge Cello Concertos is an album by Gabriel Schwabe, released in 2021. The album is a classical CD.

These two masterpieces are shadowed by the events of the First World War. Elgar’s Cello Concerto, an intensely poignant, reflective and individual musical statement, has enjoyed unflagging popularity among musicians and listeners for over 100 years. By contrast, Frank Bridge’s Oration (Concerto elegiaco) remained unperformed for decades after its early hearings. Yet it shares spiritual affinities with Elgar’s work and serves as a funeral address of huge solemnity and narrative power in its outcry against the futility of war.
