During his lifetime, and for a short while after, the virtuoso performer-composer Georg Goltermann (1824–1898) was popular enough to have the Cantilena from his Cello Concerto No. 1 recorded by Pablo Casals, but little since. That’s a pity, because it's a perfectly constructed, delightful Romantic work, by turns lyrical and melancholic, and never gratuitously virtuosic. The Symphony in A minor, which was both well received and prized by Goltermann himself, is written in an attractive, post-Brahmsian vein, especially the exquisite, lively Scherzo with its sweeping Trio.
