The great Italian conductor directs two scores characteristic of their authors: Dvořák’s intensely nostalgic Cello Concerto, with Gautier Capuçon as soloist, and Prokofiev’s seductively lyrical Romeo and Juliet.
One symphony isn't a symphony, while the other is among the most famous. Stravinsky's "Wind Symphony" may surprise. Dvořák's "New World" Symphony captivates with its Bohemian romanticism, influenced by New York. Its popular adagio features a catchy English horn solo. Stravinsky's work is rhythmically sharp and melodically cutting. Thierry Escaich's cello concerto is like a Bach-inspired aria. Concert duration: about 120 minutes including intermission.
