Cello Concerto / Serenade / Lonely Waters

Cello Concerto / Serenade / Lonely Waters

• Shrink-wrapped

The Cello Concerto is one of Anglo-Irish composer E. J. Moeran's most important<br>works. Composed in 1945, its deft scoring and memorable melodic material mark it as<br>a work of his maturity. At its heart is the raptly lyrical and profoundly felt slow<br>movement but the whole concerto reflects the singing qualities of the solo instrument.<br>The much-admired Serenade is heard in the 1996 edition of the original 1948 version<br>with eight movements. Lonely Waters is a brief but evocative orchestral rhapsody, and<br>Whythorne's Shadow a touching fantasy based on an Elizabethan madrigal.
