Good list. I might add the Sinfonia Concertante by Prokofiev, an interesting work, since it not only showcases the dialogue between cellist and orchestra, but has basically been written as a dialogue between Rostropovich as the soloist and Prokofiev as the composer.
I would say my 10 favorites (not in any order) Dvorak B minor Saint-Saens A minor D’Albert C major Haydn D major Kraft C major (better than Haydns imo) Haydn C major Saint saens D minor Schumann A minor Myastovsky C minor
Thank you for the video! I'm not a fan of various rankings as they are relative, so I'd just mention my personal favourites. Dutilleux ('Tout un monde lointain'), definitely Lutoslawski (probably the most intense cello concerto ever), Gubaidulina (I admire her 'Sonnengesang', also some fragments of 'Das Fest ist in vollem Gang' - I like a dark cembalo beginning. Haven't been able to listen to her 'Aus dem Stundenbuch' concerto), Schnittke 1st, especially its finale.
you have to show the 2nd subject of the 1st movement of the dvorak some day, or the cadenza from the 2nd mvmt. The beginning is epic but so is the rest of the concerto (as long as my left hand is spared during the chromatic octaves, sextuplets, or the sixths/thirds passage at the beginning of the 3rd mvmt)
my favorite cello concerto is probably the Saint-Saëns No. 2 - the opening of the second movement is genuinely one of the most epic passages of music I've ever heard (and also probably one of the hardest)
if you like passages that are hard just for the sake of being hard, Offenbach grand concerto is a relatively unheard of concerto that is absolutely filled with them
Thank you for this list!....I mostly agree and i am happy that actually both of Shostakovitch concertos are included. Dvorak I do not like very much, I find it a bit to overloaded..the orchestra is too heavy and the whole concerto lacks som freshness and spontanious ideas..but, personal preference. The concerto which SHOULD be included on the list, even on the top, is Juro Tkalcics sadly very unknown concerto. He was even a cellist him self and I find his concerto has really all you would expect, dream of and love to hear in a concero for cello....and even more... it is also so spontanious in its shape, Singing from the first note... ua-cam.com/video/ugpkXIDRluI/v-deo.html
I agree with everyrything but I think it would be better if you add barber concerto but I know that walton is better but I really think if you do 11 concertos and put at 11 it would be perfect.I don't disagree with you on Elgar.I think it's a little bit overrated.
Again…so many concertos over there…This is my list: I prefer the Concerto No. 2 than No. 1, however, the finale of No. 1 is brilliant. Saint-Saëns is a great concerto. As mentioned, difficult to add all these great works in a video.
Great list. This is mine:
10. Britten
9. Saint Saens 1
8. Elgar
7. Schumann
6. Monn
5. Saint Saens 2
4. Shostakovich 1
3. Dvorak
2. Offenbach
1. Shostakovich 2
Enjoyed seeing your list! Here’s mine:
10. Boccherini/Grutzmacher
9. Saint-Saens 1
8. Lalo
7. Haydn 1
6. Haydn 2
5. Schumann
4. Elgar
3. Prokofiev Sinfonia Concertante
2. Shostakovich 1
1. Dvorak
Honorable mentions: Saint-Saens 2, Shostakovich 2, Herbert 2
Personal favorites (that shouldn’t make the list): Korngold, d’Albert, Weinberg

Absolutely agree with you! Unfortunately I couldn’t include a video fragment as the video would have been blocked…Thank you for watching!
@@IliaLaporevcellist Only one solution: you gotta play it yourself and show the footage😀
I would say my 10 favorites (not in any order)
Dvorak B minor
Saint-Saens A minor
D’Albert C major
Haydn D major
Kraft C major (better than Haydns imo)
Haydn C major
Saint saens D minor
Schumann A minor
Myastovsky C minor
3 underrated concertos are Anton Rubensteins 2 cello concertos and the Myaskovsky cello concerto.

great list, i really like khachaturians one
Thank you! Yes, Khachaturian is great too!
Thank you for adding the CPE Bach A major concerto. That's one of my very favorites, and I would love to perform it one day.
I love André Caplet's Epiphanie, and i think it's not getting enough love ! 🙂
Thank you for introducing this! Then I will go to research and give it some love! 😀
Very nice list :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
i think dvorak would be number one on anybodys list, its just epic
Yup! Totally agree!

saint saens 2 is so underrated 😢
strange list: takeaway CPE Bach, Vivaldi double, Walton. Add: Saint Saens, Haydn C, and Bocherrini
The name of the cello player on Walton concerto please?
Gregory Piatigorsky! The aristocrat of all cellists!
The real problem with the dvorak is that live the cello is so often inaudible
Have you ever listened to a live where the cello is balanced?
Elgar at number 9??
As mentioned in the video: ‘however, this is my list’.
@@IliaLaporevcellistthat's fair, I did enjoy seeing your point of view
Thanks!

No Saint- saens? No Haydn 1? Im dissapointed
And schuman is very low on the list...

@and-iz3mk because I love to hear it, but fear to play it lol
@@IliaLaporevcellistI love your list, thank you! A few of them I have not heard of. Really appreciate it!
Also Prokofiev Sinfonia concertante
