This Cello Concerto was completed in 1932 by British composer
Arnold Bax (1883 - 1953). The soundscape created in this work is similar to that of his seven symphonies, with the cello integrated very well. A beautiful concerto, for me the third best in the genre (after Moeran and Finzi, but well ahead of the more famous ones by Dvořák and Elgar). The average playing time is 34 minutes (
AllMusic). My version is by Raphael Wallfisch and the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Bryden Thomson on a Chandos CD.
