Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2018 180gm Warner Classics reissue. The record Haydn: Cello Concerto In C / Boccherini: Cello Concerto In B Flat is a must-have for any music lover who appreciates the beauty of the cello. This recording features two of the most renowned cellists of the 20th century, Jacqueline Du Pré and Daniel Barenboim, performing Haydn's Cello Concerto in C and Boccherini's Cello Concerto in B flat. They are accompanied by the English Chamber Orchestra, which provides a lovely backdrop to the virtuosic cello solos.

The Haydn concerto is a delightful work, full of playful melodies and intricate technical passages that showcase the soloist's virtuosity. Du Pré's interpretation is full of energy and passion, and she brings out the beauty of the piece with her precise and expressive playing. The Boccherini concerto, on the other hand, is a more lyrical and introspective work, with a haunting second movement that is both beautiful and melancholic. Barenboim's performance is sensitive and nuanced, and he brings out the emotional depth of the piece with his expressive playing.
