Description

"It's exciting, it's graceful, it's got gorgeous tunes... it's got everything really."
As cellist Steven Isserlis prepares to perform with us, he tells us about Saint-Saëns' cello concerto no.1 and why it is the first concerto most young cellists learn.

Hear him play it with us on 26 January at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall.
