Elgar's Cello Concerto in e minor is one of his best known works, though also somewhat a departure from his characteristic style.  Composed in 1919, the elegiac concerto reflects Elgar's disillusionment following World War I.  Though initially critically panned due to a poor premier performance, this concerto has gradually become one of the most notable pieces in the solo cello repertoire -- particularly after Jacqueline Du Pre's definitive 1965 recording.
