Description
Edward Elgar's cello concerto, his final significant piece, is a well-organized and deeply expressive work. It is not surprising that this piece holds crucial significance in the cello repertoire. Jonathan Del Mar's editorial abilities are evident in the precise positioning of dynamics, articulation, and expression markings.
The edition reinstates all of Elgar's fingerings and bowings for solo cello and provides a facsimile of the original solo cello part within the critical commentary. Jonathan Del Mar similarly records the performance tradition of the piece and its recording conducted by Elgar.
This is the final word on this renowned piece, a reference edition for every cellist!
