Following his breakout moment as the first Black musician to win BBC’s Young Musician of the Year Award in 2016 and a “standout” (NPR) performance at Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding, Sheku Kanneh-Mason releases a new album featuring Elgar’s Cello Concerto. Performed with Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, it is complemented by a collection of pieces from Elgar’s time, chosen by Kanneh-Mason as a reflection of different moods and influences.
