Dvořák's Cello Concerto

‘If I had known you could compose such a cello concerto, I would have written one long ago,’ sighed Johannes Brahms when he heard Dvořák's Cello Concerto. It is a season opener that has it all: heroism, strength, poetry, and melancholy. No wonder it remains one of the most beloved works for cello and orchestra. After the intermission, Viotti will conduct Schumann's Second Symphony. In this stormy and melody-rich symphony, the illness-stricken Schumann tried to defy his fate by capturing the triumph over adversity in music.

Gautier Capuçon

The French cellist Gautier Capuçon is widely praised for his poetic interpretations with great emotion. He brings out the finest details in the bombastic masterpiece with precision. Capuçon has a strong musical bond with chief conductor Lorenzo Viotti, and they form a golden combination.
