About this piece
Henriëtte Bosmans’ Second Cello Concerto, composed in 1923 and dedicated to cellist Frieda Belinfante, reflects Bosmans' deep affinity for the cello, nurtured through personal and professional connections. The concerto features a lyrical and romantic musical language, notably uninfluenced by contemporaries like Debussy or Schönberg, and demonstrates Bosmans' strength in creating expressive, melodic themes. Structured in three movements—beginning with thematic introspection, progressing through an idyllic scherzo, and concluding with a vibrant finale—the work is celebrated for its heartfelt character and lush orchestration.
