Mendelssohn

Overture, The Hebrides

Brahms

Symphony No. 4

Dvořák

Cello Concerto

Both Brahms and Dvořák composed the works performed this evening towards the end of their lives. Dvořák’s Cello Concerto is one of the composer’s finest achievements. A richly inventive and emotional work it became a memorial to his former pupil, first love and sister-in-law, Josefina Cermakova. Meanwhile Brahms’s orchestral masterpiece, his Fourth Symphony, is packed full of huge and intoxicating melodic ideas and the finale, a massive passacaglia, has the same air of finality as Beethoven’s Ninth.

This evening's concert is supported by the Meyer Foundation
