A total of 676 cello concertos completed since the beginning of 2011 were identified, of which 130 (19%) have been recorded and 546 appear to be unrecorded to date. The most fruitful year in all timelines to date is 2019, having 62 concertos identified. These numbers include eight concertos by Beatty which have been written since 2014.

Recommendations

Clyne This five-movement work is highly original, and I found Inbal Segev's performance and the recording stunning.

Farr A work of remembrance for the role of women in the First World War in a single span and often with a plangent tone, Sébastien Hurtaud's playing is suitably impassioned.

Lindberg As with his first concerto, No.2 makes a powerful impression in the expert hands of Anssi Karttunen.

Muhly/Helbig/Zhou Long This multi-composer work called Three Continents hangs together well in the capable hands of Jan Vogler.

Reale A three part programmatic work called Live Free or Die, this is one of the most interesting of recent cello concertos and Kim Cook is an excellent soloist.

Say The Turkish composer may be better known as a pianist but this is a very fine programmatic concerto which includes subtle use of birdsong. Camille Thomas plays it with conviction.

Selaocoe This extraordinary work called Four Spirits is for the composer's cello and voice, was recently experienced live by Renate, has now been recorded for Warner Classics, and is both electric and spontaneous in feeling.

Vasks His second concerto called Presence is one of the standout works of the period. Beginning with an extended cadenza, there is then an allegro followed by a long-breathed adagio. Sol Gabetta is an excellent soloist in the premiere recording.
