EMÀNUEL MOÓR (1863-1931): Concerto for 2 Cellos and Orchestra in D, Op. 69, JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897): Double Concerto for Violin and Cello in A Minor, Op. 102.

Description: Written in 1907 for Casals and his wife Guilhermina Suggia, Moór's four-movement, 27-minute concerto eschews sonata form for a kind of continuous transformation of thematic material, exploring melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and contrapuntal ideas in an almost improvisatory manner; rhapsodic, lyrical, episodic - choose which adjective you like, it's colorful, richly orchestrated music in the late Romantic Germanic tradition.
