Samuel Barber's Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra, Op. 22, completed on 27 November 1945, was the second of his three concertos (the first being his Violin Concerto and the third his Piano Concerto). Barber was commissioned to write his cello concerto for Raya Garbousova, an expatriate Russian cellist, by Serge Koussevitzky on behalf of Garbusova and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Funds for the commission were supplied, however, by John Nicholas Brown, an amateur cellist and a trustee of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The score is dedicated to John and Anne Brown. Barber was still on active duty with the U. S. Army at the time he received the commission, and before beginning work asked Garbousova to play through her repertoire for him so that he could understand her particular perform

  • Samuel Barber's Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra, Op. 22, completed on 27 November 1945, was the second of his three concertos (the first being his Violin Concerto and the third his Piano Concerto). Barber was commissioned to write his cello concerto for Raya Garbousova, an expatriate Russian cellist, by Serge Koussevitzky on behalf of Garbusova and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Funds for the commission were supplied, however, by John Nicholas Brown, an amateur cellist and a trustee of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The score is dedicated to John and Anne Brown. Barber was still on active duty with the U. S. Army at the time he received the commission, and before beginning work asked Garbousova to play through her repertoire for him so that he could understand her particular performing style and the resources of the instrument. Garbousova premiered it with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Symphony Hall, Boston, on 5 April 1946, followed by New York performances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on 12 and 13 April. The concerto won Barber the New York Music Critics' Circle Award in 1947. The work has remained obscure and performances are scarce, largely because of its extreme technical demands, but also because the heavy editing of the solo part by Garbousova hinders individual interpretation. The work has three movements: 1. * Allegro moderato 2. * Andante sostenuto 3. * Molto allegro e appassionato The concerto is scored for solo cello and an orchestra consisting of 2 flutes, oboe, English horn, 2 clarinets (second doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 3 trumpets, timpani, snare drum, and strings.

  • Samuel Barbers Celloconcert op. 22 in a-klein, voltooid op 22 november 1945, was het tweede van zijn drie grote concerten. (Het eerste was het Vioolconcert op.14, en het derde het Pianoconcert op. 38). Barber kreeg de opdracht tot het schrijven van dit celloconcert van cellist uit Rusland die speelde bij het Boston Symphony Orchestra. Tijdens het componeren vroeg Barber deze cellist om haar complete repertoire voor hem te spelen, zodat Barber een idee kon krijgen van haar stijl en technisch kunnen. Er wordt dan ook gezegd dat dit celloconcert haar op het lijf geschreven is. Garbousova voerde het concert uit met het Boston Symphony Orchestra op 5 april 1946. Barber won met dit stuk de New York Music Critics' Circle Award in 1947. Garbousava verfijnde haar interpretatie van dit werk tot aan haar pensionering. Geleidelijk vond het concert zijn weg in het repertoire van veel andere cellisten, hoewel het niet veel wordt uitgevoerd vanwege de technisch hoge eisen die aan de cellist gesteld worden. Het werk bestaat uit 3 delen: 1. * Allegro moderato 2. * Andante sostenuto 3. * Molto allegro e appassionato De bezetting is: 2 fluiten, hobo, althobo, 2 klarinetten, basklarinet, 2 fagotten, 2 hoorns, 3 trompetten, pauken, snare drum, en strijkers.
