Hadelich plays Dvorak

Augustin Hadelich plays Dvorak's Violin Concerto, and Cristian Măcelaru conducts the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne in works by Mendelssohn and Brahms.

Augustin Hadelich plays Dvorak's violin concerto and Cristian Măcelaru conducts the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne in works by Mendelssohn and Brahms.

The composers of the Romantic generation saw the world differently, and they heard it differently, too. A stormy voyage off the Scottish coast set music playing in Mendelssohn’s head: music that grew into the overture The Hebrides. Brahms launches his Third Symphony in heroic style – but brings it to a close in the most radiant of sunset glows. Dvořák, meanwhile, fused Classical forms with Czech folklore and his own deeply poetic spirit to create a violin concerto that dances as joyfully as it sings. Grammy Award-winner Augustin Hadelich is its champion tonight, as the Proms welcomes the Cologne-based WDR Symphony Orchestra and its energetic Chief Conductor Cristian Măcelaru.
