Saint-Saëns' First Cello Concerto was composed in 1873; Lalo's in 1876, meaning that they are both products of late French romanticism and, not by chance, both in minor keys. Maja Bogdanovic's interpretation is imbued with her Slavic background, emphasising the passionate and tragic character of both works. Thanks to the perfect chemistry between her and the Serbian conductor and orchestra, the result is a dazzling and unique performance, providing a brand new insight into two famous works and, most importantly, the feeling of attending a live concert.
