Edward Elgar and his cello concerto

The repertoire of soloistic for cello is far narrower than those of other concertante instruments. So we tend to think that we know well of all the regularly performed cello concertos, in which the Elgar Concerto is among them.However, besides the concerto itself and some populare songs, variations or marches, there is little knowledge about the and work of the composer. Moreover, we have to take into account the massive influence of Jacqueline deu Pré, whose very personal and passionate performance has become an almost absolute point of refernece, above the annotations of Elgar himself. My work aims to give a broader approach to Edward Elgar ande his cwork, and to give an interpretation proposal, after having consulted the composers´marks and recordings, and contrast it with the opinions of other prestigious cellist ( Han-Na Chang and Kazimierz Michalik)
