Saint Saens Cello Concerto in A minor (1 0f 2)

[Ludlow889]

Terrific artist. I wish all her recordings were still in print. Some of them are definitive.

No other artist had ever attempted a complete set of Saint Saens' works for cello and orchestra when this was made. The amazing standard Mme. Walevska set for this music when she was just 29 probably explains why nobody else recorded any of these pieces until well after her Saint-Saens record was long out of print. Maisky and Kliegel recorded some of them in the late 1990s, and Isserlis in 2001, but no other complete set to date. These relative newcomers are great but no match for Walevska!

@magister62 magister62, it's interesting to hear that Mme. Walevska has made a recording of the complete set of Saint-Saens performance. This concerto is indeed a very terrific performance. My question is, is this complete set released as a complete set publicly in the form of DVD/CD? In what year did she make this complete set of Saint-Saens works? Thanks!

By far my favorite recording of this concerto!

is this the one found on Philips Duo?

I'm not aware of any Philips Duo CD that features Mme. Walevska's performance of this concerto. I do have a Philips vinyl LP of this performance.
