About this concert
Falling leaves, melancholy songs, and an eternal sense of the British countryside in autumn 鈥 it鈥檚 hard to define the precise qualities that make Elgar鈥檚 Cello Concerto so enduringly popular. But that鈥檚 why it鈥檚 a classic; it always has something fresh to say. It鈥檚 perfect, in other words, for Raphaela Gromes, a cellist whose aim (she says) is to 鈥渋mmerse myself completely in the piece, to serve the music, to communicate it to the audience鈥. And perfect, too, for a conductor with the insight and stature of Michael Sanderling, who concludes the concert with Bruckner鈥檚 epic Third Symphony. This is Romantic music on a visionary scale, conducted by an artist who understands that Bruckner was speaking from鈥攁nd to鈥攖he human soul.
