Concerto for cello and orchestra

This is my first large scale concerto. It was created throughout 2001 and 2002. Observing it with my current mind and ear I am still happy with use of cello and its balance with orchestra but I am not so pleased with formal approach. It is probably too fragmented and uses expressive waves up and down a bit too much. So I will probaby consider to compose another cello concerto in future where these faults will be eliminated. I will not touch this composition - it will be always revealed as a document of my creative thinking back in the beginning of 2000.

Why this work has no comments? I understand that larger works are less attractive at first sight.

But this is a great opportunity to listen to an original concerto and to see it played by an orchestra.

There is no sense in saying anything about the quality, which is evident. So, I can only say taht I love it, the cellist is superb, and it's true there is a good balance in general, with modern spots and ways to play the instrument.

Of course I have very little to add, since the high standard of this piece is obvious. I don't feel quite intimidated by larger pieces, having written quite a few myself - but works like this one leave me at a loss on what to point out for praise or improvement. Granted, most composers evolve stylistically with time (I'm not sure if that's my own case, though), but I can see a lot of traits that have carried on into your more recent pieces.

Great job!

I posted a comment on this about two weeks ago, which was very complimentary to the music and especially the cellist. Then I see it listed again as "few critiques" and without any comments at all.  ????
