In this 1966 Decca recording, Raya Garbousova (1909-1997) performs the second movement the Barber Cello concerto, Op. 22 -- a work that was Barber wrote for her, and which she premiered with Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1946. In this performance -- the first issued on an LP -- Garbousova is joined by the Music Aeterna Orchestra, conducted by Frederic Waldman.

I created this video from the LP depicted above, issued on the Decca label, serial number DL 10132.

Movement 2: Andante sostenuto


Miss Garbousova's New York Times obituary is available here:
