Du Pré's account of the concerto, made when she was barely 20, made her a star overnight and remains the work with which she's most often identified. Her forceful, highly emotional performance won't be to all tastes or occasions, but it brings the work to life like few others. Not just the poignancy of the opening, or the aching nostalgia of the \"Adagio\", but the quicksilver brilliance of the \"Scherzo\" and cumulative energy of the finale are really made to tell. Barbirolli gives marvellously understanding support here and in \u003cem\u003eSea Pictures\u003c\/em\u003e. It also established its soloist--Janet Baker, and remains the deepest and most perceptive recording this song-cycle is ever likely to have! Baker makes light of the sometimes gauche poetry and awkward word-setting, giving the music a sweep and nobility typical of Elgar at his best. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRichard Whitehouse\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eLabel: Warner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaus Müller from audiotapereview.com rated this tape 5\/5 in the category Music and 5\/5 in the category Sound.\u003cbr\u003eFor the full review, visit \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.audiotapereview.com\/1032026elgarcelloconcertoseapictures\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.audiotapereview.com\/1032026elgarcelloconcertoseapictures\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Revox Music","offers":[{"title":"Standard Master \/ CCIR","offer_id":56435483214150,"sku":"000102027","price":478.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Master \/ NAB","offer_id":57098409541958,"sku":"Neuanlegung","price":521.01,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Studio Master \/ CCIR","offer_id":56435483246918,"sku":"000103027","price":500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/4411\/4246\/files\/Elgar_Cello_Concerto_Cover.jpg?v=1777033573","url":"https:\/\/revox.com\/de-cn\/products\/edward-elgar-cello-concerto-sea-pictures","provider":"revox.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
