Edgar Moreau (cello)

Orchestra Les Forces Majeures, Raphaël Merlin

Offenbach: Grand Concerto for Cello in G Major 'Concerto Militaire'
Gulda: Concerto for cello and windband

Edgar Moreau performs two cello concertos which bravely and wittily challenge convention. Offenbach’s ambitious Grand Concerto in G major culminates in military fireworks, while Friedrich Gulda’s Concerto for Cello, Wind Orchestra and Band – written 130 years later – is a dazzling stylistic kaleidoscope. Moreau is joined by conductor Raphaël Merlin and the dynamic orchestral collective Les Forces Majeures.
