The Cello Sings
The main work in this very tuneful concert is Dvořák’s ever-popular Cello Concerto, with talented cellist Joshua Lynch. Dating from the composer’s American period, it portrays both unrequited love and at the same time the homesick longing that Dvořák felt for his own country.
The rarely-played effervescent Polonaise by Lyadov is also included in the programme, along with the American Suite which Dvořák composed immediately after his New World Symphony. The Overture di Ballo predates Sullivan’s operetta works with WS Gilbert, and is – justifiably – his most-recorded orchestral work. Tunes aplenty are guaranteed!
