I don't know how Elgar was able to express so deeply and fully what sounds like the suffering of mankind. I can't think of any other piece of his that comes close to the profundity of this concerto. Yo Yo Ma of course wrung every tear drop he could out of the music. An absolutely wonderful performance.

This concerto was never popular until Jaqueline Du Pre made it popular. Elgar has fallen out of favor with the public as a composer so this was his last significant work he ever wrote and its debut was a disaster. Sadly -- great music often sits in obscurity. But it truly is a master master master piece -- even musically more significant than Dvorak's Concerto.

During his final illness in 1933, Elgar hummed the concierto's first theme to a friend and said "If ever after I'm dead you hear someone whistling this tune on the Malvern Hills, don't be alarmed, it's only me."

I can't keep my mouth shut, I have to say something. I know absolutely nothing about classical music. From what I can hear (and see on this KZitem video), Elgar was a very serious composer. All the way through this piece there are swirling intensities. And this man Yo Yo Ma certainly knows how to play every note with equal intensity. The two definitely go together. I just wish that Elgar could hear and see too. It would melt his heart. From skipping to bowing one's head, there are many moods in this concerto. I wish I could understand it all.

+Tony Harvell Yeah, a lot of different things were swirling through Elgars head when he composed this piece. It was one of his later works, and was created in the aftermath of World War I, which had deeply touched and horrified him. His mind was swirling with ideals and horrors, and he had a certain level of turmoil that can be felt through this piece at time.

nothing will ever compare to the feeling you get from hearing this piece performed live by any talented cellist. its amazing. that intro hits you like a truck every god damn time. listening to the soloist at my school perform the first movement of this piece was the only reason i looked forward to orchestra class. the delicate sorrow turning into unretaliated rage and then back to sorrow gives me goose bumps every time.

For those of you who thought 19:18 was a look of laughter because of Yo-Yo's face pulling, I think you might want to reconsider your preconceptions. I have a very different take on your observations. As a musician myself, albeit, not very good, it is common for certain phrases to strike other musicians as either beautiful or quirky; the result of such beguilement is often laughter. Yo-Yo Ma is playing one of more poignant phrases of the suite when he gets the look you are referring to. Watch it again, and see if you are open to it being a look of: "Wow, nice phrasing, Yo-Yo."

I would say it is symphonic poem for cello and Orchestra...Notes that the very begining theme close the concert. It is kind a story telling music. It is a very well enough version passionate and intense.
