Complete your Prokofiev, Fauré - Boston Symphony Orchestra, Erich Leinsdorf, Samuel Mayes collection. légre For Cello And Orchestra, Op. 24. 7:15.

The Élégie (Elegy) for cello and orchestra, Op. 24, was written by Gabriel Fauré in 1883

Boston Symphony cellist Samuel Mayes performing the Prokofiev Symphony-Concerto in e minor, Op. 125, along with the Fauré Elegie, with Erich Leinsdorf conducting the BSO. Samuel Mayes was principal cellist with the BSO, the Philadelphia Orch. and the Los Angeles Phil. between the years 1937-1973. I downloaded this monaural concert from Squirrel's Nest and will be looking for recent performances of both works. The Faure is perfect for all you 'melancholists' (or maybe I'm the only one) who like works like Barber Violin Concerto 2nd mvmt, and Shostakovich 5th sym 3rd mvmt.

Sergei Prokofiev's Symphony-Concerto in E minor, Op. 125 (sometimes referred to as Sinfonia Concertante) is a large-scale work for cello and orchestra. Prokofiev dedicated it to Mstislav Rostropovich, who premiered it on February 18, 1952 with Sviatoslav Richter conducting (the only instance of Richter conducting). After this first performance (under the title 'Cello Concerto No. 2'), it was revised and given its current title

Boston Symphony Orchestra, Erich Leinsdorf, Music Director. Samuel Mayes, Cellist. Produced by Richard Mohr, Recording Engineer: Lewis Layton. Elegie for Cello and Orchestra Gabriel Faure composed his Elegie in 1883, and later set the piano accompaniment for orchestra. The work is to be valued along with the French composer’s superlative vocal music, for it captures his melodic genius in instrumental form. Charles Koechlin, Faure’s devoted pupil and biog¬ rapher, has called it finely wrought and beautifully bal¬ anced; a renowned miniature with its beautiful, griefstricken phrase, whose nobility is the equal of that in the Andante of the First Quartet-also in the key of C minor.
