Camille Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto No.1 in A minor – Bruno Philippe, hr-Sinfonieorchester, Christoph Eschenbach (HD 1080p)
[…] Société Nationale de Musique, with Saint-Saëns as one of its founder members, had promoted its first concert under the banner "Ars gallica", and the impetus was thereby given to young French composers to outdo the Germans in every way possible. It was partly pressure from the Société that pushed the staid Concerts du Conservatoire into accepting the premiere of Saint-Saëns' first concerto on 19 January 1873, but more the request from the established cellist Auguste Tolbecque – without which, the conductor kindly informed the composer, the work would not have had a hope.
