I haven't purchased many CPO CDs in recent years. The last was the first CD in the intended Larsson series. I did contemplate purchasing the Holbrooke Violin Concerto but decided I was contented with the German radio broadcast download.
However, since acquiring in the 1970s an LP of the Heifetz Walton Concerto coupled with Castelnuovo-Tedesco second Violin Concerto, I have always been fond of the latter - although none of his other works have matched its appeal.
Accordingly, I decided to buy the disc of the Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Gal Cello Concertos. I wasn't over impressed on a first listen albeit there were several attractive moments in both Concertos. A few other listens have warmed me to both works. I was particularly struck by the Gal having been disappointed with his Violin Concerto. Not, in my opinion, the masterpieces the cellist claims they are but attractive pieces nonetheless and, in my view, worth having.
I will probably buy the Weigl Cello Concerto when it is released.
