Composed for Steven Isserlis in 2004, Carl Vine’s Cello Concerto is an exhilarating 20-minute work that traverses a vast emotional palette. The Concerto begins arrestingly, with soloist pitted against orchestra, though as it develops the two factions move towards union. A slow chorale led by the cellist frames the central section, whilst relentless motor rhythms drive the work to its close. This is the piano reduction and cello part.
