Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor Op. 85 his last notable work is a cornerstone of the solo Cello repertoire. In contrast with Elgar's earlier Violin Concerto which is lyrical and passionate the Cello Concerto written in the aftermath of the First World War is for the most part contemplative and elegiac.

The theme of this work is ‘man & machine’ as commissioned by Michael Nicolas. The theme is represented in that the Cellist becomes both in the piece – man & machine – where man indicatesperforming expressively with emotion and a musical approach to the music and machine indicates more precise rhythmic and technical accuracy a somewhat stricter approach to the music. These two approaches gradually transitionfrom one to another throughout the work. Anna Thorvaldsdottir frequently works with large sonic structures that tend to reveal the presence of a vast variety of sustained sound materials reflecting her senseof imaginative listening to landscapes and nature. Her music tends to portray a flowing world of sounds with an enigmatic lyrical atmosphere.

Outre le Quatuor avec piano op. 13 et la Sonate pour violon op. 18, la Sonate pour violoncelle op. 6 fait partie des œuvres de musique de chambre les plus accomplies parmi l’œuvre de jeunesse de Strauss. Les influences de Mendelssohn, Schumann et Brahms se font sentir, mais laissent cependant assez de place à un langage sonore bien spécifique comportant souvent de surprenantes tournures rythmiques et mélodiques. La première version établie au printemps 1881 fut soumise par Strauss à une révision en profondeur au cours de l’hiver 1882/83: le mouvement initial fut fondamentalement retravaillé et les deux mouvements suivants furent intégralement composés à neuf.
Cela en valait apparemment la peine, car, après la première exécution à Dresde, le compositeur écrivit à sa mère: «Ma Sonate a extraordinairement plu, elle a obtenu des applaudissements colossaux, j’ai été félicité de toute part.» / Partitions classique / Cordes / Violoncelle / HENLE VERLAG
