The division into Groups 1 and 2 is to differentiate in my own mind between those composers who are better known and whose other works have a certain "currency" and familiarity. It is NOT to distinguish the "good" from the "bad"!!!! But if I was in a position to choose where to go next with new recordings it would be to those in Group 1. (As is my practice an * indicates the availability of an off-air broadcast for download by those interested.)
Group 1:
Gordon Jacob(1895-1984): Cello Concerto(1955) *
Sir Lennox Berkeley(1903-89): Cello Concerto(1939) *
Arnold Cooke(1906-2005): Cello Concerto(1972-73) *
William Wordsworth(1908-88): Cello Concerto(1963) *
Daniel Jones(1912-93): Cello Concerto(1986) *
Arthur Butterworth(1923-): Cello Concerto(1997) (the only mature concerto listed which is not available in an off-air recording for download)
Wilfred Josephs(1927-97): Cello Concerto “Cantus Natalis”(1961-62) *
Graham Whettam(1927-2007): Cello Concerto(1962) *
John McCabe (1939-2015); Cello Concerto “Songline” (2007) *
(9)
(I have removed the Alun Hoddinott Cello Concerto of 1949 since the composer withdrew the work.)
