Many
well-known violinists
such as the dedicatee
Pablo de Sarasate,
together later with
Eugene Ysaye and Jacques
Thibaud, included in
their repertoires Camille
Saint-Saens' concert
piece composed in 1863.
Even today, concert life
is hard to imagine
without the Introduction
et Rondo capriccioso. The
highly virtuosic work
already inspired critics
and audiences during the
composer's lifetime;
reported about the
premiere in 1867 was: The
Introduction and the
Rondo capriccioso for the
same instrument are both
original and charming,
and Maestro Sarasate, who
was in his element here,
admirably made the most
of it. And a few years
later, a music critic
described the work as a
kind of fantasy waltz in
the Spanish style and
with a most bewitching
effect. After the first
performances in 1867,
despite success, the
work's score and
orchestral parts had
little chance of
publication due to
concert companies'
reluctance. In 1869 the
Paris publishing house G.
Hartmann merely published
an arrangement for violin
and piano produced by the
composer's friend Georges
Bizet. The orchestral
score and parts were
first published after the
Paris publishing house
Durand had acquired
publication rights in
1875. The present edition
published in
collaboration with the G.
Henle Verlag is the first
critical edition of the
work.

If Davies's
Cello Concerto has
already evoked
comparisons with Elgar's,
that is perhaps an
indication not only of
its wealth of solo melody
(there is hardly a page
where the cello is not
singing, or if not that,
then dancing), and of its
predominantly slow
tempos, but also of its
musical stature. This
second Strathclyde
concerto is a virtuoso
piece for the entire
ensemble, which is used
almost throughout as a
clutch of soloists rather
than as a tutti block.
The general tone is one
of passionate but
interior dialogue,
especially in the opening
Moderato and the slow
movement; and though the
finale is more extrovert,
the work ends back in
quietness and
rumination.
