John Williams: Cello concerto (fourth version - a newest version has been played recently in Philadelphia)
Yo-Yo Ma
Houston Symphony Orchestra
December 2012, live recording

0:00 Theme and cadenza
10:00 Blues
13:50 Scherzo
19:10 Song

27:30 Encore: Pickin' (from three pieces for solo cello by Williams)

The first version was obviously the world premiere in Tanglewood, performed by Ma and the BSO. The second version was the recording I already uploaded. The third version would be the one recorded by Slatkin and deMaine. I am not sure wether the recording I uploaded here is the fourt or fifth version. I had the occasion to listen to the concerto at the beginning of the 2010s, performed by the DSO with Slatkin and deMaine, I think it was different from the one that was recorded with the same performers. It may have been the same version as this one. The version that was played with Ma, Denève and the Philadelphia orchestra in 2016 is also different from this one.
