Thursday - Sol Gabetta plays Dvorak

Andris Nelsons conducts the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and Sol Gabetta in a performance of Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B minor. Introduced by Penny Gore.

Penny Gore introduces recordings from around Europe and from the 91Èȱ¬â€™s performing groups.

Today Penny has a recording of Argentine cellist Sol Gabetta playing Dvorak’s Cello concerto, written while the composer was living in New York, and considered one of the all-time great cello concertos. Sol is joined by one of Europe’s great orchestras: The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, with conductor Andris Nelsons. Also on the programme, an all-star line-up plays Robert Schumann’s Concertstuck for 4 horns with the 91Èȱ¬ Philharmonic, and the Orchestre de Paris, with Klaus Mäkelä, performs the music of the late Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. And there’s a rare chance to hear music by the Dutch composer Leo Smit, who was killed at the Sobibor concentration camp in World War 2.
