The third and last on my list of favorite cello concertos is the incredibly famous Saint-Saen cello concerto No. 1 in A minor. This performance by the legendary Jacqueline Du Pré would have been an amazing concert to attend! The constant reoccurring theme that goes back and forth between the cello and the symphony orchestra gives a thrilling energy and vibrancy to the composition. This concerto certainly has some of the most virtuosic and difficult passages. However, it also contains beautiful lyrical phrases that balance out the energetic main theme.
