    Crazy genius and child prodigy for sure! I'm going to have to go listen to Phaeton. I'm biased. I have explored his cello concerto for years and although popular, I still very much love it. It's deceptively difficult, intricate, lovely. I love how its really just one continuous movement and how he really makes wonderful use of Am. Most musicians acknowledge the different personalities of the different keys, but to me it epitomizes the personality of Am. I love how the coda is the parallel major! So COOOOOOL! Anyway, I love Samson and Delilah as well. He has the emotion of Chopin and the grandness of Tchaikovsky in his compositional pallet. It's really amazing. ~Lisa Edit: I don't like the second, the Dm, as much as the first cello concerto (still wonderful). Perhaps 'cause its more Classical sounding. There is something just so driving and powerful about the first. Maybe thats why its the more famous one.
