A unique Dvořák celebration. On one side, the rather rarely heard Piano Concerto is on the programme; on the other, the popular Ninth, the ‘Symphony from the New World’. While the Piano Concerto may adhere, aesthetically speaking, to the classical three-movement structure, it defied the prevailing zeitgeist of the day: the piano does not play a highly virtuosic, technically dazzling dominant role, but is an equal partner with the orchestra in the development of the themes. A truly symphonic concerto. Dvořák wrote his Ninth in distant New York, far away from his homeland. Was it homesickness that influenced his composition? His commission was actually to write a symphonic work based on American folk-style melodies. However, a Bohemian-Moravian sound increasingly came to the fore; it is no surprise that the work ultimately became one magnificent musical hymn to Dvořák’s Czech homeland.

A unique Dvořák celebration, bringing together Dvořák’s Piano Concerto and the ‘Symphony from the New World’: one work less well-known, the other extremely popular the world over.
