The Cello Concerto is a fine work, with a very striking and moving slow movement. The performance is a strong one, too, with Raphael Wallfisch as soloist and the Berlin Konzerthaus Orchestra (formerly the Berlin Symphony Orchestra situated in East Berlin) under Australian Nicholas Milton.

This is the way to present unsung music - i.e. with world-class performers.
