Here is his cello concerto. It won’t blow your socks off but it’s very appealing music, with some lovely passages.
The 20th century is the golden age of the cello concerto. To mention just a few of the more well known ones, the two by Shostakovich head the list, Walton, Barber, Elgar. But well worth a listen are Thomson and Weinberg, which I have linked, Honegger, Myaskovsky, Rota, Glass, Kabalevsky. Of these the Weinberg is the best.
ADDED: The bassoon concertino is a lovely piece.
