Description

This cello concerto moves from a wide, shimmering opening into music that gradually builds in intensity. A central movement shaped as a lament places the cello in a quiet, nocturnal setting before it arrives at a solitary, introspective space. The final movement grows from a calm beginning into steady, propulsive energy, with the cello becoming increasingly bright and forward-moving. Written for the instrument the composer played in youth, the concerto focuses on the cello, its voice, and its capacity for expression.
