The composer of the three works presents on this recording, Johann Benjamin Gross and Julius Rietz, belong to the artistic circles around Robert Schumann and that of his friend, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The recording presents a selection of cello concertos, a genre that experienced a significant upturn during the 19th century. The two pieces at the center of this recording, the Fantasy for violoncello and Orchestra op. 2 and the Violoncello Concerto op. 16, probably date back to Rietz’ mid twenties.
