Saint-Saëns: Violoncello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33

The Cello Concerto no.1 in A minor has an original structure as well as an attractive and challenging solo part. Although it is through-composed, it is easily divided into three movements. The main theme from the opening reappears several times in each of the sections, which gives the piece a unity and sense of organic wholeness.

This Music Minus One Edition Includes:
- A compact disc containing the complete performance of the concerto in digital stereo;
- A second digital stereo version of the concerto minus the soloist, indexed for ease of practice and performance;
- Selected slow-tempo versions from the accompaniment for practice purposes;
- An authoritative performance edition of the solo part, newly engraved and printed on high-quality ivory paper.
