Kurt Atterberg (1887–1974) Violoncello Concerto in C minor Op. 21
[vc,orch] Duration: 35'
solo: vc – 2.2.2.2. – 2.2.2.0. – timp – str
The only concerto for cello and orchestra by Kurt Atterberg was composed in 1922, a time in which Atterberg was among the most often played Swedish composers abroad. The cello part is probably so convincing because the composer was a cellist himself. Strong, lyrical lines and luscious colors make the cello concerto a special work in this genre. A real find for all concert programs!
