Edouard Lalo was already fifty-one when his Violin Concerto brought him the first taste of success as a composer. Over the next eighteen years a series of outstanding works, including the opera, Le roi d'Ys, together with the Symphonie espagnole and a fine Cello Concerto, established him as one of the major French composers in the late 19th century.

Having studied the cello as a young man, Lalo had a deep understanding of the tonal qualities of the instrument, and produced a concerto that combines the yearning intensity of the central Intermezzo, with brilliant virtuosity in the outer movements. The Cello Sonata, which remained unpublished during his lifetime, was composed in 1856, and is essentially a lyrical score.
