Sinfonia Concertante, op. 125

Serge Prokofieff (1891-1953) composed his Concerto pour Violoncelle op. 58 in E minor between 1934 and 1938. This work remained unpublished during World War II but was published by Boosey & Hawkes in 1951. The Sinfonia Concertante op. 125 is a reworking of the Concerto op. 58 which the composers made in collaboration with Mstislav Rostropovich during 1950-2. - Publisher's note.
