Serge Barjansky
Sergey Adolfovich Barjansky (russian: Сергей Адольфович Баржанский) ( Odessa, Russian Empire – 29 May 1940 Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania) was a Russian virtuoso cellist. Barjansky's cello was a Stradivarius instrument which became known as the Barjansky Stradivarius. This instrument is now played by Julian Lloyd Webber. Life Sergey was born in Odessa, in a wealthy Russian-Jewish family, the son of 1st guild merchant, composer, and pianist Adolf Barjansky (c. 1850 – 1900 Odessa, Russian Empire) and Maria Clara Weisstein (1861 Tarnopol, Galicia (Eastern Europe), Austria-Hungary – 1927 Vienne, Austria).

Elgar Cello Concerto
Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85, his last notable work, is a cornerstone of the solo cello repertoire. Elgar composed it in the aftermath of the First World War, when his music had already gone out of fashion with the concert-going public. In contrast with Elgar's earlier Violin Concerto, which is lyrical and passionate, the Cello Concerto is for the most part contemplative and elegiac. The October 1919 premiere was a debacle because Elgar and the performers had been deprived of adequate rehearsal time. Elgar made two recordings of the work with Beatrice Harrison as soloist. The American premiere was given on 21 November 1922 by the Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski with Jean Gerardy, cello. The 'Musical Courier' wrote: "About the Elgar there was no dissenting opinion. It is a long work, and it ambles on and on and on, utterly without distinction, utterly without inspiration." The work did not achieve wide popularity until the 1960s, when a record ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Elegy
An elegy is a poem of serious reflection, and in English literature usually a lament for the dead. However, according to ''The Oxford Handbook of the Elegy'', "for all of its pervasiveness ... the 'elegy' remains remarkably ill defined: sometimes used as a catch-all to denominate texts of a somber or pessimistic tone, sometimes as a marker for textual monumentalizing, and sometimes strictly as a sign of a lament for the dead". History The Greek term ἐλεγείᾱ (''elegeíā''; from , , ‘lament’) originally referred to any verse written in elegiac couplets and covering a wide range of subject matter (death, love, war). The term also included epitaphs, sad and mournful songs, and commemorative verses. The Latin elegy of ancient Roman literature was most often erotic or mythological in nature. Because of its structural potential for rhetorical effects, the elegiac couplet was also used by both Greek and Roman poets for witty, humorous, and satirical subject matter. Oth ...
