Elgar: Cello Concerto; Cockaigne Overture
Philharmonia Orchestra of London; Barbirolli - du Pre; London Symphony Orchestra; Barbirolli - Baker; London Symphony Orchestra; Barbirolli
Few classical albums have received such iconic status as this one. Its principal glory, of course, has always been Du Pre's classic performance of the Cello Concerto but Janet Baker's heartfelt approach to the Sea Pictures runs it pretty close.

"
...the slow movement and epilogue remain supreme in their intensity, conveying in whispered pianissimos of daring delicacy an inner communion, while the bravura of the brilliant passages remains astonishing from an artist still only 20.
"Gramophone
"
Like Du Pre, Baker is an artist with the power to convey on record the vividness of a live performance.
"The Penguin Guide
"
Janet Baker's legendary performance - coupled with Jacqueline du Pre's equally legendary interpretation of the Cello Concerto- needs almost no introduction.
