Gabriel Schwabe's new recording with the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra and conductor Christopher Ward features two British cello concertos: Elgar's evergreen concerto (written and premiered in 1919) is paired with Bridge's Oration (Concerto elegiaco for cello and orchestra), which was written in 1930 and premiered in 1936. Both works are responses to the horrors of the First World War.
