Elgar: Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85: I. Adagio; Moderato | Gautier Capuçon, LSO, Pappano

Gautier Capuçon performs Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 - I. Adagio. Moderato, with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Antonio Pappano. Experience the calm and lyrical beauty of this opening movement, a poignant lament for a lost world, brought to life by Gautier’s expressive musicianship and the renowned London Symphony Orchestra. Elgar’s masterpiece, composed in 1919 and premiered by the LSO, captures the raw emotion of its time, embodying a reflective response to the devastation of the First World War. Pappano describes it as “a very strong piece, a very dark piece,” while Gautier recalls the powerful emotional impact he felt when he first played the opening chord of Elgar’s Cello Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra. He describes it as a moment filled with a strong sense of the orchestra’s rich history and tradition, which inspired him deeply.
