Berg! What gives man! What gives! I commend your Rachmaninov preference, but Berg! His music has no soul - it's just a load of notes bunged together.

Dvorak Cello Concerto is my choice.
Topaz, I notice you list Schumann Cello in your favourite string concertos but not Dvorak? A note about Sibelius Violin Concerto, I obviously like this piece but I rate the "other" 4 violin concertos (Beethoven Mendelssohn Brahms Tchaikovsky) as better concertos. Sibelius wrote the concerto in 1903 and immediately withdrew it for revision. The concerto we know is the 1905 version. I will be critical here and say that I feel that many parts of the first movement and the end of the third movement still bear the marks of a work in progress. Sibelius had absolutely no hesitation making revisions upon revisions upon revisions, I feel it is a shame that he didn't have another go at this piece.

Kurkikohtaus: Indeed my favourite cello concerto is the Schumann. I find more to be admired in the Schumann work than Dvorak's. It has more depth, and importantly better consistency between movements. Its second movement is one that I find particularly nice among all cello works.
I agree that upon a first listen the Dvorak concerto might seem the better (it's melody is stronger), but after repeated listenings I find Schumann the more interesting work. For me the thing that lets the Dvorak concerto down a bit is its last movement which is all over the place in tempo, and seems to lose the plot compared with the first two movements. I have the Rostropovich version, so it's not some piece of junk. What do you and your cellists think? I thought you might have asked why I didn't list the Elgar cello concerto. I've never liked it as it's too OTT for my tastes. To be honest, cello concertos would come a long way down my list of Top 20 concertos, as I greatly prefer piano, violin, clarinet works.

Andante, Rojo and Admin: I agree that these headings need some tidying up, with consequent transfer of threads. I think this whole section - "Music & Repertoire" - may need an overhaul, in order to make the sub-section titles clearer and mutually exclusive. What about the following replacements:
CLASSICAL MUSIC DISCUSSION.............. This site is already vastly better than all others I have seen, where chaos generally rules. But the above, I think, will improve it. If people actually follow this layout, it should be easier to place new posts and to find things. Any other views? Topaz Last edited by Topaz : Jan-01-2007 at 12:39.
