Mats Lidström's 1997 album, "Edward Elgar: Cello Concerto in E Minor, Op. 85 - Rogelio Groba: Cello Concerto," is a captivating exploration of chamber music, showcasing Lidström's exceptional skill on the cello. The album is a blend of two distinct works: Edward Elgar's renowned Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85, and Rogelio Groba's lesser-known but equally compelling Cello Concerto. The former is divided into four movements, each offering a unique emotional landscape, from the somber Adagio to the lively Allegro. Groba's concerto, presented in four distinct sections—Sonata, Galician Night, Scherzo, and Dance—adds a touch of Spanish flair to the collection. Recorded under the Fundación Rogelio Groba label, this album spans 54 minutes and is a testament to Lidström's versatility and mastery of the cello.
