2)Â SHEKU KANNEH-MASON Elgar 2LPÂ 2019
Award-winning British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason presents his new album Elgar, a brand new album of works anchored around Elgarâs Cello Concerto, arguably the best-known work in the classical canon written for solo cello, which was first performed 100 years ago on 27 October 1919. Award-winning British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason has announced his new album Elgar will be released on 10 January 2020. Elgar is a brand new album of works anchored around Elgarâs Cello Concerto, arguably the best-known work in the classical canon written for solo cello, which was first performed 100 years ago on 27 October 1919. Special projections of Sheku will be visible near major international landmarks in London, New York, Sydney, Beijing, and Berlin to coincide with the announcement of his new album.
Sheku recorded Elgarâs Cello Concerto at Abbey Road Studios (famously opened by Elgar himself in 1931) with the internationally-renowned London Symphony Orchestra and its celebrated Music Director, conductor Sir Simon Rattle. For his latest album, Sheku uses Elgarâs iconic work as a lens through which to explore the wider musical landscape of pre-and post-war Europe. New arrangements of Elgarâs powerful and ubiquitously British âNimrodâ from his Enigma Variations, and âRomance In D Minorâ are also featured on his new album. Sheku recorded many of the chambers works alongside his cello friends and colleagues, as well as his brother Braimah Kanneh-Mason who plays violin on Blochâs âPrayerâ.
