Cellist Matthew Sharp, together with Kenneth Woods conducting the English Symphony Orchestra, offers the world premiere recording of Hans Gal's gorgeously melodic and finely crafted Concertino for Cello and String Orchestra, alongside the composer's Sonata and Suite for solo cello.

Gal's compositional output was vast, varied and consistent, from his early success in 1920's Germany, through internment during World War II, to his days in Edinburgh where he settled, became a respected academic and lived out his long life. His vivacious Cello Concertino was written in 1965, when he was 75 years old. The two spirited solo cello works were among his last, written at the age of 92.
