Description

GEWANDHAUSORCHESTER LEIPZIG Andris Nelsons · Conductor Gautier Capuçon · Cello Dvořák struggled with his cello concerto just as Brahms did with his 1st Symphony. Yet two highlights of the romantic repertoire emerged. Under the direction of its charismatic conductor Andris Nelsons, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, one of the oldest and most renowned orchestras in the world, continues its tradition of excellence with Brahms’ magnificent 1st Symphony. Gautier Capuçon, world-famous cellist, accompanies and performs the moving cello concerto, imbued with Slavic nostalgia. Program Antonín Dvořák: Concerto for Cello and Orchestra in B minor op. 104 (approx. 40’) Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 1 in C minor op. 68 (approx. 50’) Concert with intermission. Program changes reserved.
