Offenbach & Gulda: Cello Concertos - Edgar Moreau, Raphaël Merlin, Les Forces Majeures
Edgar Moreau performs two cello concertos which bravely and wittily challenge convention. Offenbach’s ambitious Grand Concerto in G major culminates in military fireworks, while Friedrich Gulda's Concerto for Cello, Wind Orchestra and Band – written 130 years later – is a dazzling stylistic kaleidoscope. The young cellist is joined by conductor Raphaël Merlin and the orchestral collective Les Forces Majeures.
