These three notable British works for cello and orchestra from the early 20th century - two of them, the Elgar and the Bridge, ranking among the finest for the medium ever written by British composers - are linked by various strands, both circumstantial and expressive. All were first heard at Queen's Hall in London, and all in different ways treat the cello as in some way symbolic of the human voice: singing, lamenting, calling, making a passionate statement with deep personal significance.
