The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Andrew Manze and soloist Andreas Brantelid perform Dvorak's celebrated Cello Concerto, a work evoking the composer's Czech homeland.

Live from City Halls Glasgow.

Presented by Mary Ann Kennedy.

The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's Associate Guest Conductor Andrew Manze play two powerful works by Sibelius in the first half, followed by Dvorak's 1895 Cello Concerto in the second.
Sibelius celebrated his Finnish heritage in Rakastava, which started life as a choral work on Finnish Poetry in 1893 but was recast in 1911 into its best known orchestral form. In the same year, a turbulent one for Sibelius, comes the brooding Fourth Symphony.
In the second half, 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Andreas Brantelid performs Dvorak's Cello Concerto, evoking the proud spirit of his Czech homeland.
