When it came to emotion, the composers of the Romantic era never held back.
Dvořák Cello Concerto (40’)
Franck Symphony in D minor (41’)
Marie Jacquot conductor
Kian Soltani cello
Far from home, Dvořák poured all his heartbreak and longing into a cello concerto like no other: a symphony in all but name, as sweet and as stormy as life itself. Meanwhile, César Franck created a symphony that’s practically a Gothic cathedral in sound – a world of swirling mists and monumental visions, crowned with an unforgettable melody. Marie Jacquot scales its heights tonight, and joins the ‘sublime’ (Gramophone) Kian Soltani in Dvořák’s magnificent Concerto.

“The magical cellist... His playing is both impeccable and inspired, it is melodic, it is the true voice of the cello, a tribute to the instrument…”Der Tagesspiegel, October 2018
