Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra with Johannes Moser, cello
Advertisement
The Romantic century is encapsulated in three works inspired by landscape, native folk music, literature, history and travels abroad.
Mendelssohn was captivated by Scotland – his soulful, windswept, high-spirited Symphony is the ultimate souvenir from his travels there. Dvořák’s wonderful Concerto is alive with the melodies and rhythms of his native Bohemia, a homesick love letter to his homeland in sound written from a distant New York.
The inner turmoil of the Roman emperor Coriolanus is captured in Beethoven’s strikingly dramatic overture to a play.
The Orchestra’s young British music director, Alpesh Chauhan, is making waves with his elegantly shaped, clear-sighted interpretations and in soloist Johannes Moser, finds a kindred spirit in navigating Dvořák’s expansive vistas. Moser has been hailed by Gramophone magazine as “one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists”.
“Moser’s gloriously flexible, expressive playing… an expressive rhythmic suppleness.“ The Strad
