Frits Gaillard was principal cellist at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw orchestra from 1905-1920. He joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1923 and retired after the season 1938-39. He gave the American première of D'Albert's Cello Concerto in 1926 in Los Angeles.
This very romantic Cello-concerto is one of the most beautiful, I possess for many years on the KOCH-label. This version here is my favourite of D'Albert's cello concerto!
Marc DE KEYSER I agree. Why is it that after Haydn's 2 brilliant cello concertos, we have been left with the false impression that apart from Boccherimi's nr 9 (hope I've got the correct number here), Dvorak's concerto and Tchaikovsly's Rocco variations, 19th century composers starved poor cellist of concertos worth playing. While the truth is, just among the so-called lesser known German composer alone the 19th century produced 6 cello concerto masterpieces, namely the brilliant concertos by Danzi, Volkmann, Raff (2 concertos), Reinecke and d'Albert. Shame on great cellist like Rostropivich, Piatigotsky, Fournier, Gendron, Navarro, Tortelier, Starker and others for not playing these masterpieces for us.
Eugen d'Albert (1864-1932) is a german pianist and composer, born in Highlands. His concerto for cello and orchestra is written in a romantic language, but without the innovztions brought by Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner. The cello enters from the beginning. The lyrism is noble, without romantic excess.

After the first five seconds I immediately pressed the buy button for this piece.
Gorgeous! I've never heard of this composer or concerto before. Hopefully I can play this some day.
Bravo bravo bravo

Thank you for all the uploads so far.
rare piece
Nice.
those third runs are insane
A very very fine piece that should be played by every 'cellist. Instead they usually complain about a lack of things to play !!!!!!!
