At last, Widor has made composer of the week. Well worth hearing and to have such a great amount of his music to listen to now that we have the three Dutton discs to be able to evaluate the orchestral music and the concertos. What a fantastic piece the Cello concerto is. I liked it when I first heard it but listening to it again today made me realise that it is quite special and is definitely one of the works that was well worth rescuing and should never have gone into total obscurity.
