A couple of Krafty 'Cello Concertos.

[John H White]

I've just taken delivery of a pair of concertos by the cellist composer Nicolaus Kraft, born at Esterhartz in 1778, where his father, Antonin Kraft, was principal 'cellist in Joseph Haydn's band. They are on  Radioservis CD CR0493-2. No 2 in D dates from 1813 and is roughly classical in style whilst No 3 in A minor, written 6 years later, tends to be more dramatic. Both are in the standard 3 movement form and, in my opinion are well worth a listen. That's if you're into 'cello concertos.
