Camille Saint-Saens - Concerto No. 1 For Violoncello & Orchestra in A Minor (+cd)

The Cello Concerto No.1 In A minor has an original structure as well as an attractive and challenging solo part. Although it is through-composed, it is easily divided into three movements. The main theme from the opening reappears several times in each of the sections, which gives the piece a unity and sense of organic wholeness. This edition includes: - A compact disc containing the complete performance of the concerto in digital stereo - A second digital stereo version of the concerto minus the soloist, indexed for ease of practice and performance - Selected slow-tempo versions from the accompaniment for practice purposes - An authoritative performance edition of the solo part, newly engraved and printed on high-quality ivory paper
