Dvořák's Cello Concerto

'If I knew that you could compose such a cello concerto, I would have written one a long time ago,' sighed Johannes Brahms when he heard Dvořák's Cello Concerto . It is a season opener that has everything: heroism, strength, poetry and melancholy. No wonder it is still one of the most beloved works for cello and orchestra. After the break, Viotti conducts Schumann's Second Symphony . In this stormy and melodic symphony, Schumann, tormented by illness, tried to avert his fate by capturing the victory over fate in music.

Gautier Capuçon

The French cellist Gautier Capuçon is widely praised for his poetic interpretations with great feeling. He knows how to bring out the finest details in the bombastic masterpiece. Capuçon has a strong musical bond with chief conductor Lorenzo Viotti, together they form a golden combination.
